Do you find this page visually overbearing because all of the non-downvoted comments are #000? I have never seen a page of text on a computer screen look overbearing because its color was #000 and not lighter.
That is poor advice which doesn't account for the difference between computer screens and ink on paper. The deepest black you can get on a monitor will not be as dark as certain inks on a page.
It's a shame that the "readable" mode has #333 body text instead of #000.
Could you please change the body text color to something closer to #000, if not #000 itself? The current contrast ratio fails WAG AA and AAA standards for normal sized text.
You should restart FF with addons disabled (Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled) and then compare the two. If you want a "passive web browsing experience" on FF, you could create a separate profile.
If you read that document carefully, you can see that the EFF edited one of passages that they quoted and did not mention their edit, which is a big no-no. The original letter says: (this exact number has been selected…

I got the old website when I visited it, but based on the image that another user posted: http://i.imgur.com/m2d1Gf4.png the text color of the description for search results is around #808080 on a #FFFFFF, which is a…
Perhaps that's what the term means to the author. To others, it's a synonym for a drunkard or alcoholic and has nothing to do with flirting.

Cursive handwriting, when done with proper technique, is faster than block and does not cause hand cramps or wrist pain.

A Concorde could not outrun an F-15, which has a maximum speed of more than Mach 2.5 at the cruising altitude of a Concorde. And an F-16 would only need to get close to a Concorde in order to shoot it down with missiles.

Really? Do you know of any research that shows this?
