Apologies for going off-topic but putting light grey text on a white background is one of the most baffling (and infuriating) design trends I've ever witnessed on the web.

It is. Maybe you know this, but you can right-click the text and choose "Inspect" and de-select the light grey color styles to make it more readable. I feel like an extension could do a decent job of automating this (simply remove all text color styles, or something like that).
Firefox has a "reader view" which works well for things like that.
