It's also a great example of how even such a little can go wrong.

The CSS of the second website is wrong, as it uses 'color' without setting 'background-color'. Assuming anything about the default background color is not possible because it is user-configurable in most browsers.

At least http://motherfuckingwebsite.com remains readable when you change your color settings (the second one is completely unreadable on my browser).

Good point. If the background color changes that often, I'm assuming there's probably a good test out there for that and more.

The text was readable as designed on a white-background. CSS that considers accessibility or print friendly is always good to add.

Javascript test?

Yeah there's lots of a Javascript or css or html validators out there, and likely geared towards checking against a set of best practices.

If it was a javascript that checked for the elements you want to ensure is there that would be neat too, I just wouldn't want it to be just me :)

You want https://thebestmotherfucking.website

It’s ok, but it’s already a bit too much. :)
