I think we could fix the issue with an intervention like this, targeting instaread.co and resetting `background-color` on this element... ``` .provider-secondary-background { background-color: initial; } ``` Hypothetically if there's some instaread flavor that intentionally sets `background-color` in a different CSS rule for this element, then this intervention would be a problem.... but maybe in practice they've all got roughly the same setup?
