It is not important which browser is it. Most work this way.
I set the default background to dark green and the text and link to
light yellowish color. The pages that do not have any style render in
these colors, those that have complete, correct style render in their own
colors, and those that have partial style (ie only background) render
partially with their own colors and partially with the default colors.
It is also not important if the style is in the page or an external
stylesheet, except the stylesheet is easier to fix.

I hope it is obvious that if the page has only partial style it may (and
will) break with default colors that are different from the author's
default colors.

No. If I did that, I would see everything perfectly but all pages would
be the same.

Thanks
