What happened?

A lot of websites rely on the browser having a white background for the iframe of the actual tab, Zen has a transparent background however, which means that the dark text on pages that don't have a background colour set is overlapping the default dark background of the browser.

You can notice it on pages such as https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/stronger-europe-world/eu-solidarity-ukraine_en

Reproducible?

• [ ] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
