Issue with Dark Reader affecting Tom's article display of specific images
Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue with this site and the Dark Reader extension for Chrome. Most of the content displays normally, but the slideshows appear as large gray rectangles with arrow buttons on either side. Switching between Filter, Filter+, Static, and Dynamic doesn't resolve the issue. Disabling the extension for that page also doesn't help. Clicking right on the invisible image and opening it in a new tab works, though it's time-consuming. I have to repeat this for almost every graph or chart I want to view, which is making me hesitant about clicking on Tom's articles. If I load the page in Chrome or another browser without the extension, it functions correctly. It seems to work better in Firefox with Dark Reader, but I prefer not to switch browsers and still use the extension. Are others experiencing the same problem? Is there a known solution? (please don't suggest uninstalling or changing browsers)
When loading the page in Chrome or any other browser without the Dark Reader extension, everything appears normal.
The purpose of using Dark Reader lies in protecting Tom's or other websites from certain issues.
The need to employ Dark Reader stems from specific requirements that must be met.
Further information is necessary to understand the details.
If needed, the situation can be brought forward to higher authorities.
Specific slideshow links that produce "big gray rectangles" are available upon request.
Details are important.

dark reader in Firefox remains functional
Thank you for your reply! The main point remains unchanged. It's not really beneficial to use Dark Reader on this site, as it allows me to switch to dark mode on many different pages and helps protect my eyes. Tom's isn't the only one facing compatibility issues, but it's the only one where fixing these problems isn't possible by simply disabling the extension. I'd need to fully remove Dark Reader to make images visible here, even though the extension is more useful than any single website. On this specific page, the graphs near the top appear as gray rectangles, and I can only view the real images by right-clicking the gray area and choosing Open Image in New Tab. At the same time, on Cyberpunk 2077 Benchmarks, the image remains visible because it's not displayed in a slideshow. Dark Reader is widely used by over 5 million people, though its performance can be inconsistent. I'm not alone in experiencing this issue—it keeps happening across all my computers and other Chromium browsers. The only browser that works reliably is Firefox, but even there, it causes too many problems on other sites, so I avoid using it.
I've raised the issue and asked for additional ideas and suggestions.
Currently, could you share a few example screenshots to illustrate what you're experiencing?
