There's been a lot of talk recently about how nice the new MechDB at https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechs is. However, it has one major flaw: the fonts are chosen for a 80's retro aesthetic, which means they have very bad readability and the site is annoying to use for longer periods of time.

This can be fixed by using a Custom CSS extension for your web browser such as https://chrome.googl...degkbkekifodacd and then configuring it to override the style of the website. The CSS snippet I use on my laptop is

* {font-family: "Ubuntu"!important;}

which does the trick, but you probably need to customize that to use some font you have on your devices.

Happy MechLabWarrioring!

I am with you about the fonts! A little bigger and the colors on Black are nearly unreadable.

The should add light theme too. Better for the Eyes.

MechDB 2.0 needs a URL link for the mech [Table_View], and I'll use it much more.
Something like:
"https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechs/table"

Currently I've bookmarked both Smurfy.de and MechDB2.0 for mech [Table_View], and using Smurfy.de much more.
I only use MechDB 2.0 when I'm checking out mech quirks!

Smurfy mechlab has been obsolete for many many years by now. Please don't encourage people to use it. Not only does it lack quirks, it lacks many mechs and weapon stats and should not be used to make or share builds.

Just saying things in the context of how MechDB 2.0 can be further improved hopefully.
Did not mean to encourage the use of Smurfy.de which is indeed VERY outdated!
