If I open the web console on this page (Ctrl+Shift+k), and then paste the following very long line of code after the caret (>) and press Enter, then the links do get larger when I mouse over them. Can you replicate that?

var sty=document.createElement("style"); sty.type="text/css"; sty.appendChild(document.createTextNode("a:hover{font-size:1.2em;}")); document.body.appendChild(sty);

I found an exception. "EDIT THIS POST" has a higher-precedence rule, so my test needs to be modified to include !important:

var sty=document.createElement("style"); sty.type="text/css"; sty.appendChild(document.createTextNode("a:hover{font-size:1.2em !important;}")); document.body.appendChild(sty);
