If fonts and colors are the only issue, then it can easily be fixed
with a bit of CSS client-side or we can perhaps add it to a new theme.
Otherwise, people have implemented other renderers and viewers in the
past, including text / terminal-based ones. Nowadays there is unstable
JSON output support that can be used for that without dealing with
HTML:

If you want to use rust.docs.kernel.org, you can also use the "source"
view at the top-right. It is still syntax highlighted a bit -- not
sure if you like that, but you may find it "less busy".
Having said that, there is some logic in the layout (in the non-source
view, I mean) being the way it is in the HTML view -- it may take time
to get used to, but it is quite useful when you know where to look /
click.
