Please Stop Using Grey Text
Another useful extension is Dark Background And Light Text https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-background-light-text-... . It's a one-button toggle to turn most text and backgrounds into colors you prefer. Great when you run across one of these accursed low-contrast sites.

Note the licensing note in the repository[1] of the APCA™ index the author’s company[2] promotes:
> The files currently in this repository are presently considered pre-release, and as such do not have a permanent license attached. In this repositiory, all files present are under a time-barred beta license, and intended for use with web-based content only, and not for any other use without written permission.
The non-pre-release stuff[3] offered to W3C is better but still seems to be intended to end up non-FOSS:
> Files in this repository are licensed to the W3/AGWG under their cooperative agreement for use with WCAG accessibility guidelines for web-based content only, and not for any other use.
(The question being, of course, how much of this is copyrightable at all.)
