I know a lot of people (including myself) that aren't too happy about
the small font sizes that seem so popular on web sites these days.

The way I deal with it is by using Firefox and the View -> Text Size
-> Increase feature. Increasing the font size one or two steps
usually does the job. It usually also causes the web site to render
slightly incorrectly, but I guess you can't have everything!
