The "user mode" uses style sheets you specify.

There's a whole bunch of built-in ones - and you can cascade them:

``User style sheets

``There is also the inclusion of 12 packaged user style sheets and an easy 
  menu application interface (View > Style). These sheets can be cascaded 
  together, with or without the page's styles. They are mostly for 
  accessibility, accessible web design and plain coolness: Emulate text 
  browser, Nostalgia, Accessibility Layout, Show images and links only, 
  High contrast, Hide non-linking images, Disable tables and Use default 
  forms design.

  There are also three style sheets that are worth mentioning specially: 
  Hide certain-sized elements, Debug with outline, and Show structural 
  elements. Hide certain-sized elements is basically that CSS-powered 
  inline ad-killer that Eric A. Meyer came up with a few years ago. Debug 
  with outline uses the newly added support for the "outline" property to 
  display key elements. Finally, Show structural elements, which with the 
  acrobatic use of generated content, attribute selectors and counters, 
  shows the HTML tags inline, as well as the meta and link data, and a 
  report on the number of font tags and nested tables. Now this is cool!''
