NYTimes Layout2+3 reformats the 3 columns of story links on the NYTimes home page so that most of the stuff that interests me is visible in a single glance.
I used Platypus to change the page layout, mostly "below the fold." I also run AdblockPlus and a couple of old scripts on this page: New York Times Convert Popups and New York Times Single Page Format. (Click the "newyorktimes" tag to see these.) This script may not work unless you are also using AdBlock Plus. (See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/... .)
The script performs the following functions:
* Knocks out remaining ad text and gray background shading at the left margin (after AdBlock Plus).
* Removes the Classifieds widget on the right.
* Widens the 3 columns of headlines below the fold.
* Enlarges section title fonts.
* Rearranges the sections.
NYTimes' home page HTML continues to evolve, which sometimes requires adaptations in this userscript. (See "Revision history" discussion.) The current revision of the script has been stable since mid-July. If it stops working for you, return to this site to see if an update is available. Reinstalling the script, if necessary, should be trivial.
