Does anyone actually prefer reading text on a bright background? If so, what are your reasons? For me, the choice is obvious to the point that I'm often annoyed at the lengths I need to go to in order to browse the web comfortably. I feel like we should have moved to the sane default of dark-themed UI ages ago.
I often use the reader mode in Firefox. Although it is not the same as a dark mode for a whole webpage, it is pretty good at removing clutter and making a web text easier to read. With the added bonus that there are no permissions involved (although I suspect the latter are absolutely necessary for the addon to work, without sharing data to 3rd parties). It is even possible to save a bookmark in Firefox with reader m…
How long will it likely be until the automatic dark mode toggling is available in Chrome/Firefox? I'm not a fan of Safari. Does it require Chrome and Firefox to implement prefers-color-scheme first?
Do the URLS you visit get uploaded in any way to the author of this extension? I saw you have to give it read permissions.

It really bugs me for my monitor to not be at or near max brightness because of how terrible the colors look at low brightness, even on high end IPS panels. This isn’t an issue on my OLED phone, which has great colors even at the lowest brightness, but nobody makes 27” OLED monitors and if they did they’d be prohibitively expensive.
Man I would pay a lot for 15-17" MacBook (or properly supported Linux machine) with proper OLED screen (from what I read the already discontinued Lenovo's suck at direct sun).

As I understand it, OLED burn-in is a _mitigated_ problem but not a _solved_ problem, and I wouldn't expect to see OLED monitors so long as that state of affair continues.
Also burn-in might not be such a big deal for developers (a category that Apple more or less ignores).

You can set dark mode in reader view (firefox mobile)
I tried this a few months back, I liked the visual effect and the configuration flexibility, but it ate at my CPU waaay too much. Anybody else have this? Was meaning to look for a lightweight alternative. Maybe I'll try this extension again to see if it's still a resource hog. Note: I'm on Firefox.
a fast and simple alternative for firefox (and android) is this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/night-light-m... please let us know if it performs better for you! (i'm the author)

There's the Stylish extension since 2005
Now with added spyware. :(
Better user stylesheet support in the browser seems safer.
On Firefox, I love the Owl - Dark Background app. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/owl
I'll have to try that. I never had performance issues with Dark Reader on Chrome, but I find it to be slow on Firefox.
