How can I disable a whole CSS stylesheet on a specific list of domains?

508 views Asked by At

The browser I'm using, qutebrowser, allows me to set a CSS file that applies those styles to every web site (but doesn't allow you to set it per page/domain, as far as I can tell), so I downloaded a dark theme CSS stylesheet from solarized-everything-css, but it seems the result on some website is unsatisfactory.

Therefore, I'd like to know if CSS offers a way to not apply a sequence of rulesets (in my case it'd be the whole stylesheet) on some domains. Something long the lines of

@this-web-site-is-NOT-in-the-black-list-in("list.txt") {
    /* the content of the dark theme CSS goes here*/
}

If it was possible, then I would add each problematic site to that sort of blacklist.

CSS itself cannot do this, because CSS is designed to apply only to a site from which it is loaded within the browser environment. Normally this happens by looking at resources listed in an HTML file's <head>, but can also happen from JavaScript injection via userscripts/addons/extensions a user has installed in their web browser.

So you need to use a 'user' style for this, which means you need to use a web browser that supports this. If the browser you're using (qutebrowser) does not allow you to set specific domains/URLs, then this will not be possible for you without creating your own user script (written in JavaScript, presumably) to apply this functionality on top of what the browser supports natively.
