Description
Concise Description
Most of what's black here is usually a different color, based on the theme I use (Night). For some reason, YouTube just started replacing most of my chosen theme with their own Dark theme. When I switched it to Light, all of the black parts swapped to white (as expected for their Dark/Light themes). This just started happening in the last 10-15 minutes.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox on YouTube with the Night theme and the extension enabled, then compare the result with the extension disabled or YouTube set to Light. The issue provides no file, test, version, settings, console output, or reliable reproduction steps; done means the user's selected theme is no longer overwritten.
