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 is disgusting that so many mindless punks think that making their > web pages scarcely legible is "kewl". 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. Rod Pemberton -- "Well, many people are really f---ing stupid too.
