#Mastodon v4.4.1 UI widgets look like those of the browser, which are stacked; makes for confusing use😒😫

#mastodonUI #mastodonUX

… Aw FUCK! #Mastodon v4.4.1 now shows some (inline) text with purple background that makes it stand out, thus distracting, from rest of the text.

On “normal” ‘puter (with MS Windows; FreeBSD; or a Linux distribution) in Firefox I had neutered that via “Stylus” extension.

Now, have to either suffer the disturbance in #Firefox_iOS or stop using Mastodon on it.

#mastodonUX sucks ass sometimes

… It is only a matter of time when anonymously reading toots of tags from hachyderm.io server (for it had shown far more than this server) comes to a halt for the same reason of distraction.

… OTOH do like the now expanded space on the phone for the toots.

... "# Followed hashtags" list, in the 3rd right side column, is useless to me as it shows only 3 tags (instead of making the tag list occupy the whole vertical column & making it scrollable).

#uBlockOrigin "element picker" picks up the rather generic class and picks the title & the list of tags separately; either they are actually separate, or am incapable of precise enough mouse movement. Ah ":r1:"!

Need to bust out "Web Developer Tools" to be more specific ...

@ax6761 I love it—I find that annoying too. Unfortunately, my browser (Mull) shows uBlockOrigin as installed, but it doesn't show up on the extensions page so I have no access to the filters.
