343269 - disable CSS loader for microsummary page loads

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Microsummaries, defect, P2)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

When the microsummary service loads a web page to summarize it, it should disable the CSS loader to improve performance and so the loader doesn't log warnings and errors to the error console, confusing users who are unaware of the microsummary service's silent loads.

Hmm, are there edge cases we might need to worry about? [eg, CSS2 generated content or display:none hiding text] I suppose it doesn't really matter, since Javascript is disabled and JS is *far* more likely to be used to alter page content...

In any case, it would seem reasonable to disable CSS loading by default, and (perhaps) in the future add some mechanism for a microsummary to enable CSS if it really wants to.
