User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Actual results:

  1. Ran into various sites which use font:weight: 300

  2. Had severe eyestrain, trouble reading text, worse eyestrain due to more time trying to read text, and eventually migraine, because font-weight: 300

I can override this using userContent.css, but that makes it harder to distinguish regular and bold text, and that doesn't work if a site requires troubleshoot mode.

Expected results:

Allowing users to set a minimum font weight, similar to minimum font size.
