IE Surfgear makes unreadable web pages legible

IE SurfgearWeb design has come a long way in the last ten years. But some people still just don't seem to understand that there are a handful of mistakes that will make a web page pretty much unreadable.
  1. While dark gray may be your favorite color, setting your page background to that color and then leaving the text black is just going to make your web page unreadable.
  2. Fine print may be fun if you're trying to trick readers into signing away their firstborn child when they register for a service, but that's about all small fonts are good for.
  3. Pages with textured backgrounds.
IE Surfgear provides solutions to each of these problems. The application adds three icons to your Internet Explorer toolbar. One will automatically resize any text in a tiny font to a readable font size while leaving other text on the page untouched. The next will remove background colors from any text. And the third removes textured page backgrounds.

IE Surfgear is freeware, but if you'd like to see how it works before downloading it, check out the demo on the product home page.
