How many of you browse the Web with CSS either turned off, or using your own local CSS?
And, if you're using a local CSS file, what do you change? (Font, colors .. everything?)

I leave CSS alone, I have Flash, ActiveX etc. turned off - but CSS and JavaScript are on.

I like to see what other people are doing with their CSS, see what works and what doesn't, which wouldn't be possible if I had CSS disabled or were using my own font preferences.

I have a plain-jane css file set up as a User Style, so that any rotten site can be made readable if I really need the information there.

Otherwise I let the Author have the floor.

It even works at msn.com ;-)

No.
I'm an experienced web guy very familiar with CSs and I can't figure out what I would gain or what I would change.

I've set User CSS up a couple of times for visually handicaped users.

It takes a bit ot tuning for the specific user but it'd include this sort of thing: All fonts as 25 point, black on white. Except links which are 28 point white on black and display: block.

Makes some sites look weird to a visually normal user, but they work well and can be navigated by a user with reduced vision.

Other sites, the ones not using fluid layouts, well just fuggedaboutit. You just get a jumble of text elements piled on top of each other. That is easy to interpret as: "Go away you inadequate person. We don't sell to your sort".
