Makes this website look like muddy water but I use dark reader[1] for all my web browsing. Ironically the only place it doesn't work is on the firefox addon page. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader/

for security reasons extensions cannot run on the mozilla addons site.

btw many years ago i made something similar to darkreader, for some users it may be faster and more reliable but i also highly recommend dark reader too:

I usually use Custom JavaScript for websites extension (since I use it for other stuff as well) and add this snippet[1].

It's still a WIP, but I like it very much. Added more contrast to the number of comments as well...

This is how it looks: https://imgur.com/PaNtWfJ

Maybe it should also color the top bar for smartphone?

For example, when I load facebook.com on brave, the top bar becomes blue. Not sure if it's a brave feature for a few selected sites, or a browser api used by Facebook.

There are a significant number of low contrast warnings from a cursory glance through an accessibility tool: https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://jgthms.com/hacker-ne...

I don't think an optional dark-mode should be expected to accommodate all people with visual disabilities. On the contrary, given the diversity of visual impairments and personal preferences people have, I don't think any stylesheet can reasonably be expected to accommodate all people, which is precisely why support for multiple stylesheets is important.
