It's a nice customizable "portal" where I can get my choice of news, weather, stocks, currencies and all that good stuff. A few days ago I noticed that all the headline links, in fact almost EVERYTHING on the page is now _____underlined_____ I hate underlined links, in fact it is the main reason I don't use Safari. Underlining is supposed to be a user set-able option, it is in most browsers. Yahoo has somehow mananged to bypass that by making the underlines part of the HTML. Ugh.
In Safari, you can set a user style sheet. Go to Preferences, Advanced. See the "Style Sheet" picker? Set that to a file in which you've placed the following CSS: a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } I'd recommend sticking it into ~/Library/Application Support/Safari; I named mine 'default.css'. To override yahoo's styles, you may also need to add: .ymymd a{text-decoration:none !important;} to this file. I agree that it's too bad that Yahoo shows it cares less about its users' preferences than its own. Maybe they can spend some of the recent record earnings on actually serving the people who made it possible?
