Both texts will be clear but hard or impossible to read because the over lap. Especially if they are the same color. Rarely will pictures cover texts as in the screen shot.

Chosen solution

You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))

If you have made changes to Advanced font size settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the Default font size setting "16" and the Minimum font size setting "none" in case the current setting is causing the problem.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not getting displayed properly.
