It would really bug you to see me websurfing, then (at least at home, where I have my browser tweaked). I use Firefox with a bunch of addons. I have a minimum font size set. If I don't like the color or contrast of the text, I hit the
"zap colors" bookmarklet. If I still don't like it, I hit "zap stylesheets." If I think an image is too small, I use the Image Zoom extension to make it bigger (which is really great for reading comics inline).
I think you should think less about a webpage as a fixed, static piece of art such as a painting or sculpture, but rather one that is filtered through the interaction or interpretation of another person, such as a symphony or a play.
