A comment on ASCII Art Weather. Parent comment

The inaccessible comment is somewhat ironic. If the display of the ASCII craft is in a terminal at least I have some control over the font size and, in particular, the background colour.

Sorry, I meant cruft - autocorrect didn't recognize the word and corrected it to 'craft'.

And the same control extends to users on the Web at the very least. Userstyles/scripts and extensions can modify websites, giving users the ultimate control over website content.

My point was in response to the grandparent's statement that most modern apps get in the way of the user - those exact same things are also crucial to, for instance support screen readers and mobile users.

I use this on my computers at work. Its wego and the ONE frustrating thing is you can't change the colors so that they work well with a light background.
