Is there any equivalent to Stylish for Firefox that's available for Opera?

The only thing that prevents me from converting from Firefox is the lack of a clear Vista theme (like Glasser + default Firefox 3 Strata theme) and the lack of a stylish equivalent. Opera feels much more pleasant to browse with and do not need any tweaks or installation of unnecessary addons but I do want to customize some websites like Wikipedia with the Stylish extension in firefox.

Here's an example:

Opera supports user stylesheets right out of the box, just go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Style Options, and there's a setting to choose your own custom stylesheets.

There are also some preset stylesheets in the View -> Style settings.

Read OP's post again before replying.

These are javascripts, not pure stylesheets.

Add somewhere (anywhere) on your disk a UserJS folder (name doesn't matter) and tell Opera (Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > Javascript Options > User Javascript Files) to use that folder, it will load all scripts inside it. To toggle it on / off use http://userjs.org/help/resources/toggle-user-javascript buttons.

This particular JS doesn't work well in Opera it seems, looks borked, also, for me it takes a half second before the JS is applied so I actually see the normal Wiki page before it gets changed:

^ Yeah, that's what happened to me too.

I abandoned Opera and went back to Firefox 3. There's no difference between the browsers except that Opera is much smaller (installation) and it has more features out of the box.

Firefox 3 has Stylish, the special address bar and other extensions that provide the same features as Opera's default features. Apart from that, browsing feels the same on both browsers. I can even emulate Opera's scrolling in Firefox and make it feel "faster".

huh? he's asking for the Opera equivalent of Stylish, not GreaseMonkey.

UserJS is the equivalent of GreaseMonkey, Custom Stylesheet is the equivalent of Stylish. Of course functionality-wise they are not strictly the same, for example it's impossible to style Opera's interface with a custom CSS or script.

For site specific styles, just apply custom stylesheet to site specific preferences.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
