Well, it CAN be done for Chrome, but the level of difficultly is 10x that of doing it for Firefox ... Chrome doesn't support Firefox's userContent.css "change" mechanism, but it does let you locally override entire files that are loaded as part of the web page, so with a good deal of difficulty you can set it up to override the CSS file containing the changes in question, then edit the file as needed.
I'm a software developer, and I found it a pain to do this for Chrome, so not for the faint of heart ...
If you want to try it, it's a three step process:
- configure chrome to override files, telling it where you want to save them
- inspect ebay "saved search" page source in Chrome, and select/copy the (CSS) file you want to override
- edit the saved file to make changes as described above
Here are the detailed steps:
1) Load saved searches page in Chrome
2) Click on Chrome's top right "..." menu button, and select More Tools -> Developer Tools
3) In Developer Tools, click on "Sources" tab, then below that click on "Overrides"
4) Click on "Select folder for overrides", and choose a directory where you will save your override files. Make sure to click on "Allow" when it asks for permissions.
5) Click on "Enable local overrides" box to make sure it is checked
6) Switch from "Sources" tab to "Elements" tab to see page source for eBay saved seaches (which you already selected at beginning of this process)
7) In elements click on the <head> section to expand it, and look about 15 lines down for the line that looks like <link href="https://.../yudcrwe0aiz3vdq30fjooqfmj2i.css" ... >
There are a few lines that look similar - make sure you find the one thar refers to the "yudcr...css" file\
😎 RIght click on yudcr...css and select Reveal in Source Panel
9) In Source panel, right click anywhere on the source and select "Save for overrides"
10) Edit the saved yudcr..css file (now saved in the override directory you specified), to change the two sections described above (search for "coln2" for first and "esearch" for second). See below for editing hint.
11) Reload the saved searches page in Chrome and you should now see it fixed.
12) As a final annoyance, if you exit Chrome and restart it, your overrides will not reactivate until you go back into developer tools section then exit it again. As far as I can google, there is no way around it. Not a big deal if you tend to keep the browser open all the time anyway.
Editing hint: The saved CSS file will all be on a single very long line and all but impossible to edit. In order to be able to easily find the necessary two sections it's easier to use a "pretty printed" version of the file. One way to do this in by copy-and-pasting it from Chrome Dev Tools... when you are viewing the CSS source, then click on "{}" at bottom of page to see pretty version. You can also find online CSS pretty print web pages.
Or you could just use Firefox !
