Makes the Chinese mobile Epoch Times website better for accessibility.

A Chrome extension to tweak my grandfather's favorite website. Intended to be used with the mobile version of the site.

Epoch Times' website uses pixel font sizes, and as a result the font sizes cannot be overridden by the user. Browsers let users change the default font sizes so that users like my grandfather can read text that would normally be too small to see. Websites use em units for text rather than px to obey these settings and show text relative to the chosen size.

The extension automatically converts pixel font-size and line-height values to use em units instead. It also uses high contrast text colors (black background and yellow text) to make it easier to read.
