For Mozilla Firefox, select "View", then "Page Style", then "No Style".

You can also use a proxy.  Some of them strip the page style.

For other websites, simply highlighting/selecting text will change it
to readable colors.

It's not just web pages from "kewl" people.  Even major sites, like
Hackaday, create hard to read text.  They use white text on a black
background, which can be read when in front of the monitor, but not
when on the couch.  I usually highlight everything on their website to
turn it from white text on black background to blue text on white
background.  Another website I use has red text on black background,
which I have a hard time reading when in front of the monitor.
