I have these lines in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:

    [Settings]
    gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true

… and have a dark version of Adwaita used for all Gtk+ 3.x apps, but Epiphany doesn't look very well with this setting.

Attached are:

- A screenshot of a combobox on live.gnome.org
- A screenshot of a text entry in the web inspector
- A screenshot of a text entry on launchpad.net

In all these cases, we get black text on a dark background. This happens with many other sites in the web.

Master bug for all issues with the dark theme is bug 679810.
