I set a user style in Stylus for danluu.com:

  body { font: 16px/1.6em sans-serif; max-width: 50em; margin: auto; }

Can even add it manually in the inspector if you want.

Thanks for sharing. Personally I also add background-color: #edd1b0; for any site I plan on read more than five minutes. For me is more pleasant to read compared with than a white background.

I do something similar, except it's the CSS from whatever of the 'Better Fucking Website' hits come up for me on search each time.

I do wish I didn't have to do that though.

I find it's a lot easier to add a simple CSS to an understyled website, than remove huge fixed banners, weird low-contrast thin fonts, etc. from overstyled websites.
