Have used HN Enhance with Firefox for years. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hn-enhance/?u...
I haven't been able to dial in a palatable dark mode palette with Dark Reader but this is perfect to me. Thanks!

#23dang mentioned HN would rather implement full custom CSS first, which I strongly disagree with. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41105794
mildly nostalgic though
i fucking miss the friendster days where you can customize how your profile looks with just css

Agreed. Darkreader + some uBlock Origin filters to remove any residual orange and I have a perfect white on black reading experience.
Mind sharing the setup? Thanks.
Here are the uBlock Origin filters I'm using:
# background
news.ycombinator.com###hnmain:style(background-color: transparent !important;)
# top bar
news.ycombinator.com###hnmain > tbody > tr:first-child > td:style(background-color: transparent !important;)
# logo
news.ycombinator.com###hnmain > tbody > tr:first-child tbody > tr:first-child > td:first-child:style(opacity: 0 !important;)
# footer divider
news.ycombinator.com###hnmain td[bgcolor="#ff6600"]:style(background-color: transparent !important)Re: Ask HN: Will HN ever have a dark mode?

#28I think the idea is that it’s a forum for programmers and you can probably self serve some solution (whether that’s using a plugin, custom style sheet, making your own, etc).
