I can't see text or icons on some webpages while in dark mode. Can't switch to light mode.

One website in particular is almost 100% black. I cannot see most text. On another site, I cannot see check boxes, can't see the trash can icon.

This just happened recently. When I switch to Light Mode in the settings, both sites remain dark.

What settings can I change so everything on a site is visible?

How do you make websites look dark ?

Changing the default colors in "Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Colors" is usually not a good idea as some websites only use CSS to set one of the colors and assume that the other is default (dark text on light background).

The Website Appearance setting won't work on all pages.
