I browse with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 under WinXP. For my needs and 
usage pattern I
have a partial solution to similar problems:
1. I routinely surf with JavaScript disabled. I have a separate 
profile for
    visiting the very few sites for which JavaScript provides 
content I know
    I want. This does have the side affect that some sights fail 
silently by
    showing me a blank screen. On the whole those sites have 
other problems.
    Competent sites are coded to display a message such as 
"JavaScript must be
    enabled to enjoy this site." They are much more likely to get 
my business.
    Also,their design is generally more competently done.
2. I set my profile to ignore background images and sites choice 
of colors. This
    was prompted by sites with poor contrast of foreground text 
with the background.
    I also force underlining of all links and my choice of colors 
for visited and
    unvisited links. All other text is black on white. The only 
downside has been
    things like "search boxes" can be harder to spot.
3. SeaMonkey allows specifying minimum font size in pixels. Some 
sloppy sites
    are careless about absolute screen position of graphics and 
how text flows
    around objects.

A side question to Steve, "Is this post screen reader friendly?"
