One of the painful things about myspace is the horrible themes that people use. The custom html and css makes some profiles very difficult to read. Here is how to read them without that custom css.

For music reasons, I need to visit myspace a lot. Connecting with fellow musicians is one of the big pluses for myspace. However, many people use the custom CSS to style their pages. While they are suppose to look cool, often it just makes the pages unreadable.

Here are several ways that you can turn the custom styling off:

Using Firefox Alone:

1. Pull up the page you want to view
2. Click View Menu
3. Click Page Style
4. Pick No Style

IE Developer Toolbar:

1. Download IE Developer Toolbar Beta 2 or Greater
2. When you want to view a myspace page without css…
3. Click Disable in the toolbar
4. Click All CSS
5. When you leave myspace, turn CSS back on.

Firefox Web Developer Extension:

1. Download and install the extension
2. When you want to view a myspace page without css…
3. Click Disable in the toolbar
4. Select Disable Styles
5. Select All Styles
6. When you leave myspace, turn CSS back on.

Note: If you have the firefox web developer extension installed, you can also use this shortcut to turn on/off styles: CTRL+SHIFT+S

Firefox with Greasemonkey:

1. Download and install the greasemonkey extension
2. Download and install the myspace custom style remover
