Hi RICO9, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Does this occur on other browsers when using their version of dark mode?

 

This will help me to assist further!

I don't know. I have not tried. But given the fact that Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world, I think a lot of people will face this problem. It should be solved with utmost urgency.
