Most browsers have built in accessibility features such as the ability to increase the magnification of fonts, change the colour of the text and to turn off images and style-sheets.
Increasing text size
You can increase the size at which text is displayed by adjusting your browser's settings: Microsoft Internet Explorer: go to the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest. Mozilla Firefox: go to the View menu, select Text Size and then select Increase. Netscape Navigator: go to the View menu and choose Increase Font until the text is an adequate size.
Changing background colour
Many browsers provide functionality to adjust the background colour of the page or the colour of text: Mozilla Firefox: go to the options menu (Tools > Options), in the General tab, click Fonts & Colours.
For more information, please visit the accessibility websites of popular web-browser developers: Microsoft Apple Linux - KDE or Gnome Mozilla Firefox
