The site, the way you like it
Under "Settings" you can now change 42 things, from the accent colour to a dyslexia-friendly font. Every change works right away and stays in your browser only.
Until now the sidebar had a small fold-out with four options. Now every setting has its place on a page of its own, in eight groups: appearance, text and reading, motion, dinos, language and region, start page and content, controls, and your data.
What you can change
- Appearance: five accent colours, an all-black background, the sidebar on the left or the right, and a compact view.
- Text and reading: text size from 80 to 130 percent, three typefaces, a dyslexia-friendly font (OpenDyslexic), wider line spacing, more contrast and underlined links.
- Motion and dinos: switch motion off completely or piece by piece, from the floating dino picture to the drifting clouds. The meadow now knows morning, day, sunset and night, and can follow the clock.
- Start page and controls: how many news items the start page shows, which app comes first, larger tap targets, a stronger focus ring and keyboard shortcuts.
You can now also switch the language at the bottom of the sidebar, with flags.
Look first, then choose
Next to the list, a preview card shows on a piece of the real site what a setting changes. "Before" and "After" let you compare without saving anything. On a phone the preview opens below the row.

Everything is stored in your browser only, nothing goes to a server. "See what is stored" shows exactly what the site remembers and deletes it if you like.
