It's not entitlement to expect a "user agent" (formal name for a web browser) to serve the user.

  Who said it's not able to do that? You can literally change everything about a website using your "user agent". You can change the CSS. You can remove elements from the DOM. You can change the text within so that it says something that wasn't actually there. There's nothing that you can't do with it. You just have to actually, you know, do it. That's the entitled part. Complaining about it even though you already have the ability to change it to the way you like it. I'm one step away from being at the "get over yourself" commenting. It's a small step though.

    Changing the CSS is not what I'm proposing here. If most users changed the CSS, then web designers would go out of their way to make it impossible. To solve this once and for all, you'd have to take the rendered page, and turn it into something the user wants. Advantages: 1. the user agent may apply the same general preferences to many different web sites (which all work in different ways and would require different CSS); 2. anything that's already rendered in images can still be transformed into a style preferred by the user. 3. it is technology independent so you could even use those style transformations in AR-goggles (e.g. to change the text on billboards) or on a TV.
