I run into these kind of sites every once in a while where you wonder 
why the color scheme was chosen when it's unreadable to most, maybe 
being color blind might explain it.

Firefox has a "reader view" button that takes away all that silly 
formatting and makes the page much more readable.  That said, I didn't 
bother to read the page because the author couldn't bother to make it 
readable.  Did I miss anything important?

I also don't read much on hackaday.com because of the absurd formatting.

If you have a web browser that doesn't shackle you, select menu-path
View / Style / User mode.

Otherwise, copy and paste the text into a text editor.

It is disgusting that so many mindless punks think that making their
web pages scarcely legible is "kewl".

They care only about the look, not the readability.  In this they
are quite similar to chimpanzees.

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.
