I am experiencing issue with GitHub. Website became grey and font became black. The problem exists only on Safari on Mac, other browsers and devices do not have issue. What can be done or where should i submit my problem? I have been looking for issue solution but now stuck. I have attached the screen of GitHub below

Thank you in advance!

Clear the cache and then try it again buddy, its working for me

I tried via option + command + E, but it did not work.

Did you try signing out from github and coming back?

The issue with GitHub appearing grey with black font on Safari could be due to browser settings or GitHub theme preferences.

First, check your GitHub theme settings in your GitHub settings. GitHub offers themes like light, dark, and dim modes, and switching them can change the website's appearance.

If the theme is not the issue, try these Safari troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Safari's Preferences and Extensions: Ensure no extensions are altering website appearances.
2. Reset Safari Settings: Sometimes, resetting to default can help.
3. Update Safari: Ensure you're using the latest version.
4. Private Browsing in Safari: This helps determine if the issue is related to browser data or settings.

If these steps don't help, consider contacting GitHub Support.

I started experiencing this recently as well on Safari Version 14.1.2 (14611.3.10.1.7), and other parts of the site are also broken (e.g., most parts of the navbar, comment boxes, etc.). Assumed this was due to them dropping support for older versions of Safari with all the UX changes they've been making...

@vladislavpyatnitskiy and @Dazcam, are you also using older versions of Safari?

All Safari versions shipped by pre Darwin 20 (iOS 14, macOS 11) has been affected by this, GitHub was suddenly updating something that not supported by our Safari.

Noticed it today right after signing on to Github with Safari. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Can confirm that on iOS 14.3, neither Safari nor Chrome can display Github properly. The background is black and the text is black, making it impossible to use.

Now it affects all pre Darwin 21 (iOS 15 / macOS 12) WebKit, what da hell GitHub doing?
