Um.  Depends on what you want.

For _most_ pages I visit, the default configuration isn't too
blecherous.  I let it live.

For a handful of pages, the settings *are* bletcherous.  Generally I
don't visit such sites as a matter of course, but when I do, I can apply
a corrective stylesheet in a second or two, literally.



If you want to globally override _all_ website color, you can include()
the stylesheet I posted from within your userContent.css.  I already
have an extensive one (google usercontent.css site:twiki.iwethey.org)
which _does_ override a number of values for _all_ sites, and am
generally the happier for it.

While there's support in CSS to apply settings based on tag values (see
for example tricks for "rel=nofollow" on anchors, posted around the Net
or in my own CSS above), I don't know of a way to say, at the user level
"for site A, apply stylesheet Z".  Which would be damned useful.
Sometimes.  Firefox has some interesting CSS plugins and this may be
among the features included.


Peace.
