Will one of these make grayed out comments easier to read? I often find it very hard to read those even when I intend to, which I feel like is a design flaw. It would be better if there was a toggle button to let me read a specific comment with normal coloring.
2 comments

If you click on the "X minutes ago" it takes you to that comment's page, where it's not greyed out. Or use this bookmarklet to ungrey all comments on a page:

    javascript:(function(){var i,x=document.querySelectorAll(".commtext");for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) x[i].className='commtext c00'})();
If a comment is faded and you're having trouble reading it, you can click on its timestamp to go to its page, and in that case it should be rendered normally.

I know it's an extra hop, but hopefully better than nothing.
