This is especially a problem if you use a light-on-dark colour scheme, many pages 
become illegible (black text of dark background). This is indeed a fault of the web page
designer but can be circumvented by a user css file. I use the following:

opal ~ # cat user.css

body {
  background-color: white;
  color: black;
}

INPUT {
  background-color: #E1E7FD;
  color: black;
}

BUTTON {
  color: white;
}

TEXTAREA {
        color: black;
        background-color: white;
        font-size: normal;
        font-family: monospace;
        margin: 0__qem;
}

SELECT {
        font-family: sans-serif;
        font-size: small;
        color: black;
        background-color: white;
        margin: 0__qem;
}

INPUT[type="submit"], INPUT[type="reset"], INPUT[type="button"] {
        color: black;
        background-color: #E1E7FD;

}
opal ~ #        

and you specify it in KCC->Web Browser->Style Sheets.
