Plain black webpage
This is a language specific challenge, for HTML only.

Your answer is the content of a self contained HTML file, that when opened in a web browser gives a plain black page.

## Requirements
- **The HTML file is self contained.**  
You may use CSS, JS, WASM, or images only if they are contained within the HTML file, not referenced as separate locations such as files or web addresses.
- **The entire page is black.**  
The red, green, and blue components of every pixel are zero.
- **The page works in at least one freely available browser.**  
Here ***freely available*** means it can be legally installed free of charge on an operating system that does not cost money. This ensures answers can be tested without needing to spend money on a browser or operating system.
- **The page works regardless of the default background colour of the browser.**

## Scoring
This is a [code golf challenge]. Your score is the number of bytes in the HTML file. Lowest score wins.

> Explanations are optional, but I'm more likely to upvote answers that have one.
