Overview

this is only a recommendation and the more correct fix would be better default tab spaces view on npmjs.com, but that sounds unlikely?

here's an example of when it's bad
https://www.npmjs.com/package/prototypey/v/0.2.3

vs with spaces
https://www.npmjs.com/package/prototypey/v/0.2.4

😩 this is so painful! On the one hand, the tabs are an accessibility point (which, total aside, I am still impatiently waiting on getting more formal research on: #1023 -> #1034...). But you're right, it took years for GitHub to fix their default (https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-07-default-tab-size-changed-from-eight-to-four) and they're much better funded than the npm frontend. I'm not optimistic for the npm pages to fix their defaults...

Putting as status: in discussion so we can collectively think on it.
