macOS/iOS Safari and Brave browsers have "Reader mode" . Chrome has a "Reading mode" but it's more cumbersome to use because it's buried in a side menu.

For desktop browsers, I also have a bookmarklet on the bookmarks bar with the following Javascript:

  javascript: document.querySelectorAll('p, td, tr, ul, ol').forEach(elem =>  {elem.style.color = '#000'})

It doesn't darken the text on every webpage but it does work on this thread's article. (The Javascript code can probably be enhanced with more HTML heuristics to work on more webpages.)

Some css files abuse !important so you might have to add that too:

    {elem.style.color = '#000 !important'}
