Description

I am using uBlock Origin Lite and I've encountered a significant UI accessibility problem when using the extension on 2 vertical monitors.

The slider for filtering modes is nearly invisible. The current contrast difference between the slider and the background is about 5%.
No one looks at monitors at an angle of 90deg, especially it 2-4 available.
On high-resolution vertical screens, it completely blends with the background. I literally cannot see where the slider is and cannot hit it with my mouse.

You seem to be "saving" my eyes with low-contrast UI elements, but at the same time, the bold, bright text in the interface (like the domain header) is a "Dark Mode killer." It's so bright it actually hurts to look at.

Please , increase add clear visual boundary.
Add a simple, "childish" CSS property

#slider {border: 1px white solid};

A specific URL where the issue occurs.
