I’ll use it. I don’t want CSS or JS. If I can do my own styling and have it consistent across many sites then the web will be much more accessible.

You want to write a custom stylesheet for every site you use?

No, they want to write one custom stylesheet, and then use that for every site they use.

I can understand this sentiment, and if there was a reliable way to implement it I would do it as well.

Back in the days of Netscape 4 (I think), this is what I did. I’m not sure if it was CSS or just some custom browser applied styling defaults, but I found it difficult to read pages in all different styles so I had the browser make them all the same.

There are ‘readability’ plugins and services for browsers that attempt to provide this service for current sites. These days it’s a bit more complicated than just overriding a few styles to make a page ‘standardised’.

The plugins / services work for maybe 99% of pages I look at. Unfortunately I don’t know how to view the whole web through such a lens, without having to activate for each page.
