Hi, Mastodon 🦣 can you help me out?

If you can test in actual Safari, what does the selection background look like when selecting text?

Is it white like I set it/ like Chrome/ Firefox? Or grey like I'm seeing in Epiphany?

If you cannot test, boosts appreciated. Thanks!

An organization as large as the NYT never could be perfect, but at this point it just feels like a totally lost cause. :/
