When typing text to comment on a video on [YouTube.com](http://YouTube.com) while in Dark Mode the text is black in color, matching the back ground and making it nearly impossible to read. ---

I have tried other sites and they are fine. Is this a Brave setting because I can’t find any info on Brave or YouTube. How can this issue be reproduced? Go to YT in dark mode and try to type a comment. ---
