I don't agree with him, but if you read the last appendix, this mf wrote half an essay on why he prefers to have basically no styling

The Opera browser of old had a menu with custom styles (a few default plus you could add your own), I think it had one that converted to sans serif, that plus a columns width one would be perfect for this site

Modern Firefox has "Reader View" that does a similar thing. It's just less customizable... because it's modern Firefox.

Does a disservice to the color-coded table on this article, though.
