> The system is failing to override the styles. You're using the word "override"; what do you think the order of these things is? As far as I'm aware: - The user sets their system's colours (e.g. for me that's white text and black background). These are used by all applications, including the browser. - Web sites may override these defaults by providing CSS, e.g. Google dictionary forcing the text to be black These bugs are caused by Facebook, Dropbox, Google, Twitter, etc. shipping broken overrides. It's a pretty minor problem (as this post's author acknowledges), but it's not the user's fault. If these sites didn't try to override things, i.e. by providing plain, semantic HTML, then this problem wouldn't occur (some might prefer such sites!)
