I know better, but something had me thinking this was going to the debian-user
mailing list. :-p

Here it is for any and all interested:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/wikipedia.css



Browsing it and some MozillaZine articles suggests a neat solution as
there only a half-dozen sites I regularly visit that annoy me significantly.

The combination of adding '@import url("wikipedia.css");' to
userContent.css whose first line starts with '@-moz-document
domain(wikipedia.org) ' suggests I could do that for each.


My solution -- using PrefBar's CSS Checkbox -- works for me in situation
that will not work with the userContent.css solution.  I visit a Web
site where I read amateur fiction.  When I view a Web page for a
particular story, the site's CSS forces the same color (blue) for
visited and unvisited links to the chapters.  I uncheck the CSS Checkbox
to get red links for those chapters I have already read and blue links
for those chapters that I have not yet read.  After selecting a new
chapter, I then check the CSS Checkbox because the rest of the site's
CSS provides a pleasant formatting.  There are several other Web sites
where I toggle the CSS for similar reasons.




I take a little more brute force approach to that particular problem. 
It's influenced by moronic choice of background images which makes 
reading text whose foreground color is anything but black.


In Preferences->Appearance->Colors I chose "Black text on White 
background" AND "Use my chosen colors...". I had the additional problem 
of shades of blue for Unvisited Links - I found Green optimal for me.


Only problem I run across is with Google's search box -their $^%$% 
designers couldn't be bothered outlining it. But I avoid Google for 
other reasons but use it enough to know where it is ;/

Can the default be changed to "None"?
Can it be altered on a specific profile?



Unfortunately, it appears that Use Style is not controlled by a
preference variable.


What use style none does is disable all CSS that is not internal to SeaMonkey.
That means author styles as well as any contained in your profile's chrome
directory (if any). Toggling that menu selection apparently causes a rather
complicated process.

That's swatting a mosquito with a hundred pound sledge.
I wish to change one specific default.
I browsed about:confg without finding anything relevant.
Besides which I've explicitly avoided addons/addins since Netscape ;)




Firefox has a built-in Reader View that works quite well for rendering
just text.




A quick read suggests that it tries to present what it guesses is the 
useful portion of a site's content. I like explicit control.
