Note: This script is no longer working. And it's unlikely I will invest the time to update it.

Motivation

Up to 2018, theguardian website was celebrated (alongside GitHub) as having one of the most pleasant and calming designs. Designers would sometimes refer to these sites for inspiration.

Sadly, when they decided to relaunch as a tabloid, the former design was lost. This script is (was) an attempt to bring the old style back to our browsers.

Specifics

Attempts to undo The Guardian redesign of January 2018.

Restores the old blue header, the lowercase "theguardian" logo, and the old fonts (with slightly less sharper serifs).

We may add a favicon later....

This is a derivative of coxmichael's userstyle.
