Dark reader works unreasonably well.it has done more than any other project to restore some degree of visual consistency to our computer screens in the age of web apps.
Dark Reader is great if you do not care about performance.

Performance has improved somewhat, at least using the dynamic mode. I think largely through more effective caching. I use it even on my phone these days.

which phone do you use it on? as ios browsers do not seem to support it?

Dark mode is great until you're forced to use light mode (webpage or an unsupported app). That's why I use light mode.
and self-illustrates this beautifully (unless you have dark-mode on reddit already).
...although its also why you need a Dark mode for HN if you're coming from Reddit. I guess I get the Sr Engineers point.

I find it offensive there's no dark mode. It's discrimination against people with a vision disability. It's a small and insignificant change on their part, could be made in 5 mins.
Does dark mode help those with visual disabilities? I whole heartedly want dark mode HN but your comment seems insincere and hyperbolic.

I, too, appreciate HN's reluctance to add new features, and have zealously followed the same approach in maintaining my own tiny corner of the web for two decades. But dark mode offers such immense retinal relief that a few lines of CSS¹ does not seem too unreasonable, especially since it means not having to trust third party extensions to do the job (though Firefox supports site-specific CSS rules natively: https://…

I prefer dark modes generally and don't mind the look of this one.

Try to read HN in Firefox on iOS, on an iPad 12’9. It’s impossible to read due to the tiny text size. You can’t zoom text in Firefox-iOS either… combined with no dark mode it’s a terrible user experience.
If you're interested in the code or would like to contribute, take a look at the GitHub repo: https://github.com/xtrp/darkhn
For those interested, it's written in Node.js with a simple Express.js server. More info is available on the repo.
Thank you all again for taking a look at this project!
