[Browser Viewer] Excellent on e-ink device (Poke 3)

For the first time now I use the Browser Viewer on the Poke 3, default NeoBrowser, and it works just great. I only have to change font size (to 20) and header and footer. I think I won't miss Kindle for long.

@kovid , would you consider to add:
1) Battery to header/footer?

2) A "embolden text" option? I now use p {font-weight: bolder;} in the Styles. But I'm sure you will have better solution, if it is technically possible.

3) highlight color with good contrast? Wavy underline is the only option visible on the e-ink. But I can live with that.

Great viewer. Much better than any app I know.

Cool, good to hear.

1) As far as I can tell there is no standard way to get battery info in a browser. The existing API is deprecated and will be removed. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...BatteryManager

2) What you are using is fine, to make it more geenral use

* { font-weight: bolder !important; }

3) You can add whatever colors you like when highlighting

Yeah, since you started the Browser viewer (version 3 or 4, can't recall), I knew this day would come. The sync function works magically. I'm thinking about selling all the kindles.
