It's miles and light years beyond ugly.  (Transparency doesn't help; it's
still a square rectangle at the bottom of the screen, pulling my attention
away from the video.)  Browsers don't set a default font size of 30px and
expect almost everyone to zoom out; they set it to a sensible default and
let the minority who need to zoom in do so.  If a few people really have
trouble reading outlined text, then UAs can let those few toggle over to
ugly mode, but don't inflict that on the world as a default.
