Its one Firefox too, look again. I'm using it for Firefox.

Only offers Chrome. Might be a country specific difference, the end result for me is the same though. Thanks for trying to help all the same, appreciate it.

I'm sorry but in what possible way is it clear that that is the update date and not the upload ditto? And where do I see the upload date on that picture, because if that's not it I cannot spot it but that's what's actually relevant.

The upload date is the symbol on the (right the arrow that goes up). I don't really know why they used these easily confusing symbols instead the way it was before it was clear as night and day as seen below.

Search through your browser extensions tab, not through some google search! Here is Firefox version for example https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/styl-us/ and here is official Stylus page where you can download it for Chrome and Opera (top right corner) https://add0n.com/stylus.html

My very late input — I’m not a fan of the new look, but I understand that’s subjective and there were reasons for the overhaul.

My main concern is how much this new design punishes newer mods and newer mod authors. Nexus’s only big flaw that I could see previously was the way so many great mods I loved fell into oblivion after 30 days. I thought the site was desperately in need of a tab showcasing mods that had been popular over the last 90 or 180 days. There was too much bias towards much older (often broken, no longer compatible) old mods from many years ago.

Well I’m afraid this new update has badly exacerbated that issue rather than helping it — now if you search you are shown only a tiny number of older mods, where it used to be something like 18-20 per page and then a very obvious continuation on to other pages. Reducing the number of featured mods and having the collections demarcate featured mods and new mods also seems regressive.

I’m not against change, but I’m really disappointed that a clear weakness has been worsened. I struggle to understand the business sense of it. If you don’t encourage newer/current modders the site traffic will surely suffer in the medium term?

Uh I can't access the opera version for stylus with that link you provided, is there no way we can get an easy option to just turn back? I just want the look I was used to because It was just better.

Ah so looked at those and yeah what everyone said would happen is happening. These "new threads" are heavily moderated propaganda prop pieces. Basically the "stop telling us you hate it and tell us what we want to hear. Or we will delete your comment" threads. I stand by my last post ages ago. This is a waste of time and the ego is astounding. What these threads don't cover. Is when people hate ALL OF IT.

And here I thought that using your words were all the rage these days. But not on here I guess /j

Hopefully all my suggestions for bringing back the Old Quick Search are included in that (Currently) empty thread.

People need to understand, When I use CAPS, I'm NOT yelling, it's for EMPHASIS, instead of going through the PAIN of Making those words ITALICIZED.
