Good to know.  A basic re-style is less likely to throw up nasty
surprises, but you are still fighting against a webpage's own styling,
which may have done all sorts of tricks to make their site work.

The borders should only appear on things that were meant to have
borders, so they should help reading things like tables, which would be
difficult with no clue as to where the table cells were, for example.

Images will be handled completely differently, and I'm not aware of any
CSS that can be applied to images.  So, if you did need to change image
rendering, I think you'll need to find some kind of image processing
plug-in.

Yes, that kind of thing is the risk you run when altering a website.
Being able to turn it on and off on the fly is probably needed.  There
is a good chance that some thing will become invisible.  Especially on
pages where the author set a foreground colour, but never bothered to
set a background colour, or vice versa, where they depended on the
default being what they expected.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
