Can this site maybe consider specifying a better contrasting font colour between the text and the background?

On my firefox browser both on the desktop and mobile it looks like a rather light grey on white background. That is just plain difficult to read and is just terrible UX.

Luckily it works with Firefox reader mode. I use that for nearly all sites that try and be different or have too many sidebars, etc.
Thanks to uMatrix, this site just renders as a completely blank page. Fortunately Reader Mode can pull the text out in a perfectly readable format.
Agreed, the entire article text looks like what you’d use for a greyed out option to de-emphasize it.
yeah, it's not sufficient for accessibility, ran lighthouse and outside of the title it's not ok
