Browser capable of disabling background

[stormblast1998]

Hi,

I am reposting this in a separate thread

Thanks!

Can any of these IE-based shells (or any other browser for that matter)
do what Opera can: switch between Author and User modes? Meaning it
should display black text against white background (preferably with
minimum number of clicks). There is a check box under Internet Options
- Acessibility- "Ignore colors specified on Web pages" (way too many
clicks) but it will make it effective on all pages of all IE shells at
once whereas Opera has this setting page (tab) - specific.

Greenbrowser has a plug-in StandardMode which does not work for all
sites, plus every time you click on a link within a page you have to
activate StandardMode again. Sleipnir has an option Disable Stylesheet
which also does not work for all sites. There is a bookmarklet called
ZapColors - again does not work for all sites. I think Firefox has an
extension where if you press Ctrl-Shift-T, it will make it black text
against white background, I have never tried it.

Are there any others, is Opera the only browser who does this right?

Set your default colors in Firefox, then get the PrefBar extension which
allows you to use those default colors anytime you want, with just one
click.

I use PrefBar for colors as well as to disable javascript or images
whenever I want. It also allows you to clean your cache, enlarge or reduce
fonts, etc. all with one click.

It's a narrow toolbar, btw. Takes up hardly any screen real estate. And
it's a must-have!
