Boring CSS

Replaces each page's CSS with a minimal stylesheet. Targets Wikipedia and many blogs.

This works by stripping all embedded and linked stylesheets found in the page after loading. The default stylesheet is embedded in the source, and mostly tweaks the fonts and spacing for readability -- very boring, and hopefully just right for reading Wikipedia and blogs. As a side effect, pages that have been nuked by this script generally display well in small or narrow browser windows.

Post any suggestions here in the comments, and I'll include them in the next update.

Targets
Check the source code to see exactly which sites get nuked. The targeted domains are Wikipedia, Blogger, Blogspot, Wordpress, Typepad, Googlepages, Code Project, Ars Technica, and Blogs.it.

The script also takes a shotgun approach for individually hosted blogs: some glob expressions like http://*.com/blog/* are used to catch some of the most likely offenders.

If you read a lot of different blogs, I recommend using the Included Pages list to add the sites where you'd like the CSS to be more boring. Or, if this script nukes the style on a page you didn't want it to, you have two options:

Disable Greasemonkey (click the monkey in the status bar) and reload the page. [quick fix]
Add the page to Boring CSS's Excluded Pages list and reload. [permanent fix]

Alternatives
If you find yourself spending too much time tweaking this script, consider the Stylish Firefox extension. Or, to try the effect manually without installing anything -- in Firefox 3, select from the top menu: View - Page Style - No Style.

Eventually I might turn this into a real Firefox extension with a "nuke" button that works immediately.

Jul 6, 2008 Mathemajor Scriptwright	While this looks like a legitimate script, I've flagged it as vague since there is no indication of the domains on which it runs in either its title or description.
