Force CSS on external site?

[digitalcolony]

Are there any tools that would enable me to view an external site using
my own defined colors?

The site T-Nation (http://www.t-nation.com/) uses a light copper font
on a black background, which is painful to read. Short of
cut-and-paste into Notepad, is there anyway to read this site without
going blind?

thanks - MAS

Opera and gecko browsers at least.

Easiest is to use Opera and usermode. (ctrl + g normally)

Use this userstylesheet:

[onload="MM_preloadImages('img/mastertop2/c/store-
over.gif','img/mastertop2/c/archives-
store_over.gif','img/mastertop2/c/search-store_over.gif')"],
[onload="MM_preloadImages('img/mastertop2/c/store-
over.gif','img/mastertop2/c/archives-
store_over.gif','img/mastertop2/c/search-store_over.gif')"] *
{color:black !important;background:white !important}

All the major graphical web browsers have this as an option in the
settings somewhere - you may also need to find the setting "ignore
colours specified on web pages" or an equivalent.

Alternatively, use a text browser such as lynx/links2/w3m or a speech
browser (though there aren't many free ones) and it will no longer
matter what the colour is.

Excellent. This is exactly what I need.

Yes, but they have a bad habit of burying these options somewhere deep
in the menus rather than having an easy toggle. If you can browse
through a mod_accessibility proxy without fussing around with your
proxy sessions to do so, that's less hassle.

Otherwise I often find it easier to resort to Lynx when a site is hard
to read in a graphical browser. That spares me the hassle of restoring
my normal settings when I leave the offending site, too.

So they do, but they tend to be fairly awkward to reach on a
page-by-page basis.

Could I comment that the Mozilla/Firefox "web developer toolbar" can
be very handy even for those who don't consider themselves web
developers (not that there are likely to be any like that around here,
oh no...:). I've certainly found it handy for taking control of
otherwise-unreadable pages (on the odd occasion that I didn't just
leave...)

Not that there aren't several other ways of dealing with this issue,
but this one works for me.
