--- Comment #7 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
Sadly dark themes have *never* been well-supported by WebKitGTK (as evidenced by many, many bugs in this bugtracker) so I strongly recommend you ensure it doesn't get used until this changes... somehow. If it's possible to change theme using environment variables (not sure), then you could run Epiphany with an envvar to force light theme, for instance.

If there's some particular commit that has made the situation worse recently, and you could identify it, then we could consider reverting.

Maybe?
