The color is coming from here:

Potential fix:

    display: none !important;
}

Thank you so much! 💗

And can you do something with this?

@oberrich Thank you so much! 💗

And can you do something with this?

tp-yt-paper-menu-button {
    background: none !important;
}

And if you want to get rid of 6px wide borders in details box:

ytd-horizontal-card-list-renderer.ytd-structured-description-content-renderer:not(:first-child), ytd-metadata-row-container-renderer.ytd-structured-description-content-renderer:not(:first-child), ytd-structured-description-content-renderer[inline-structured-description] ytd-horizontal-card-list-renderer.ytd-structured-description-content-renderer, ytd-structured-description-content-renderer[inline-structured-description] ytd-error-corrections-section-renderer.ytd-structured-description-content-renderer, ytd-structured-description-content-renderer[inline-structured-description] ytd-video-description-infocards-section-renderer.ytd-structured-description-content-renderer {
  border-top-width: 1px !important;
}

Thank you for everything!

But it returns when the dropdown menu closes, i don't know if there's anything to do with it?
But it's also more of what I wanted 😊

Which version are you on? For me on 4.9.85 (chrome mv3) ALL sites break after leaving the page on idle for over ~1-5 minutes. It's like all of the fixes just suddenly get disabled/reverted.

Can you look into this @alexanderby @Myshor?

The MV3 version is still under development.

If you choose to use Dark Reader for YouTube, I suggest to switch YT to it's Light theme.

@oberrich
4.9.85 me too, but i don't have this what you said.

When i click on the dropdown menu again or anywhere on the site the grey box disappear.

Thanks, using light mode without any fixes works perfectly for me and completely fixes this issue.

I only hate the 6px borders now

yuck

ok-ish

@alexanderby But in light mode there is this weird bug, where youtube's new feature goes white, and i don't know if it can be fixed it:

[Myshor]

I think the best solution here is to enable site dark mode detection.
On "old" default design Dark Reader it's here: (Sorry I have it in Polish but the places should be the same).

If you are already switched to new design it's in Settings => General section:

I have this option enabled and I almost wanted to write here that I can not reproduce your problems. 😉

This is still occurring. Can confirm the manual fixes above do work however.
