- acqq 14y agoI use Opera: it can switch off all styles, leaving only defaults. It does wonders with a lot of "only the author loves that formatting" pages.
- jakub_g 14y agoThe trends to make thin grey text on nearly-gray background are driving me nuts also. I have two global Stylish [0] styles in my Firefox and I toggle them when I need to read something on a page like this: 1) Enable Georgia font instead of the author's favourite thin font: html body, html div, html span, html p {font-family:Georgia !important;} 2) Make everything black (except links): html * {color:black !important;} a {text-decoration:underline !important; color:#00a !important;} Those are not perfect but they work for me in 95% of the cases. The first rule is a not a catch-all to not put Georgia in code/pre/textareas etc. `html` is necessary not to affect Firefox's (browser) styling.
