Research direction

First reproduce the issue by opening news.ycombinator.com on iOS Safari with Dark Reader 1.5.8 and selecting a news post. Trace the Safari-specific rendering or styling behavior for Hacker News vote arrows; done means the upvote and downvote arrows are visible without breaking the other themes or browsers.
