While we're at it can we get past the current phase of using extremely light grey on white? What happened to web design sticking to everyone-can-read contrast levels? I've actually resorted to using a chrome plugin that switches <p> tags to black when you click its icon just so I can read fancy shmancy designed blogs. Edit: In case it's of any use to you, the one I'm currently using is Darken Text[0]. There's probably extensions out there that let you switch out colours automatically but my day job involves web dev/design, it'd be very confusing if I used an extension that messed with colours automatically [0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/darken-text/kmonkhbnghcmlhgbmlpagpapfomioidg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/darken-text/kmonkh...
