Good to know, thanks for checking. I'll still look into "dark mode"
support and see if there's something I might do in the web page to
make this easier for dark mode viewers. You can't be the only one
using dark mode.

But since I know this is a browser-specific thing and not something
"broken" on the website, I'll make this a low-priority fix.
