I am an engineer and to me, Instagram is a mystery.

Why would I zap into this flood of images? I am already bombarded by images all the f...... time. If anything I could need a service to remove images from the web.

Why would I want to look at even more images of beautiful people at beautiful places eating beatifully photographed food? Is it intended for some kind of mental masturbation? Looking at it and imagining being in that place, being that person, eating that food?

Why am I so totally uninterested in it, while millions seem to like it?

How about other HN readers?

Do you want a customer or a slave?

If you sell software, you have a customer that can do whatever they like.

If you provide SAAS you can tie in the user more and more.

Yes, with untrusted parties I mean developers of third party apps.

And yes, I don't use browser extensions either.

Even better!

My solution was a link element with a data: URI. Yours is much more elegant. And works!

Thank you very much!

No, I don't use apps.

Apps can do millions of things you don't want an untrusted party to do on your device.

These sound like solutions for the desktop? I'm looking for a solution for mobile. Well, thanks to mike-cardwell, I have one now!

Awesome! I was creating a style element and added it to the head. The CSP do not allow that.

Now that I know I can alter the elements directly, I will do that instead.

There is a lot of stuff in the iOS accessibility tools, but unfortunately nothing that makes the text on HN bigger.

Ironically, setting the "dynamic text size" makes all kinds of text in the OS way too big but lets the text on HN as small as before.

And I don't want to "zoom" because that makes the text overflow the screen on the right.

My experience ist that everytime a designer touches a website things get worse :)

Current example: The Reddit redesign. It's a nightmare.

Changes to HN that would help me are:

Get rid of the CSP headers

Change the output so that the browsers reader mode can understand it.
