Description

Some input boxes blend into the background in Browsh so well, that they can't immediately be seen by the user.

Additionally this prevents the caret in caret mode of the vim like key navigation I'm implementing from being able to stop at some input boxes.

Examples of this input box invisibility can be seen on google and google news.

This probably can be fixed by injecting CSS styles to ensure that input boxes are colored differently from their background.

Research direction
The issue is that input boxes in Browsh blend into the background, making them invisible. The fix likely involves injecting CSS to give input boxes distinct colors. Look at the browser's rendering engine, possibly in files like 'browser.js' or 'render.js' where CSS is injected. Check existing CSS injection logic and add rules to style input elements (e.g., `input { border: 1px solid white; background: black; }`). Test on google.com and google news to verify visibility.
