New Dark blue background on some sites makes black text difficult to read.

more options

Some text-heavy, not all, sites are now displaying with a darkish blue background (like the trousers on U.S. Army dress blue uniform) which makes the black or sometimes two-tone text on the page really hard to read. This happened after I disabled an ad blocker, as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure about that.

Here is a site producing this problem: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-01-20/trumps-lucky-year?cid=nlc-emc-fa_paywall_free_eliotcohen_ma2018_prospects_b-20180120

Is there a way to return sites to a white background? Thanks.

Thanks, cor-el. I had thought I was changing the background of the tabs and it it just didn't work for whatever reason.

I await the reappearance of Tab Mix Plus. Life will be good then.
