Q: Using Turingtest2's minimalist style sheet on an ios device

Using Turingtest2's minimalist style sheet on an ios device! 

ios devices do not support user style sheets. Until now, this means you have to live with the standard ASC web page on your ios device.  By using a bookmark, you can add Turingtest2's minimalist user style to an ASC web page. The downside is that you have to involve the book mark on every ASC web page .

On your ios device, bookmark this link.  When you are on an ASC page, tap on the saved bookmark in your web browser.  [ Of course, I cannot test this bookmark until I publish this page.  ]

minimalist bookmark

Since I had not yet created this discussion, I added the bookmark to my iPhone in a more roundabout way.  Here is what I did.  This bookmark should work in most web browsers, from what I have read on the internet, a most reliable source .

What I did was to right click on this bookmark in Firefox running in Yosemite. [ that right, I'm not on my iphone ]

Now, click on Bookmark this link.

Now, go to you iPhone.  I'm running iCab.  It as a facility to sync your Firefox bookmarks into iCab running on my iPhone 4.  [  lazy me ]

Here is how a discussion looked on my iPhone 4 in iCab, an alternate web browser. [ it's a paid browser, but feature rich. ]

now, I tap on the little book icon on the lower left.  I tap on my book mark.

Now, turingtest2's minimalist user style sheet is installed! I've scrolled down and I don't get have the screen covered with the wasteful popup.

What does this bookmark look like?  It's rather cloudy.  What I did was construct a javascript bookmark.  There are tools around the internet to construct such a bookmark.
