Everyone should checkout Dark Reader extension, it's been doing adaptive dark mode for many years, and it's customisable. It even does light mode too. Using it in Firefox on HN right now!

Slows down loading of websites a lot though.

A slowly loading website is preferable to a quick flashbang.

There's an open offer for mentoring if someone would like to implement this natively in Firefox, FWIW: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591679#c13

I just noticed that Dark Reader stopped working for me. Turns out I accidentally installed "Dark Mode", a potentially malicious clone that got blocked :/

I'm concerned that these extensions can "read and modify" everything. I can't use that for work.

I like that on Chrome, and while it works on Safari, I prefer Noir there.

Chrome has a built in dark mode that's more performant than extensions.

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

Works great 99% of the every time.


AFAIK, its detectable by the web page though

Dark Reader went political - that's an automatic "NO" from me

What do you mean?

Don't bother with trolls, just flag and move on. Green account, a political statement, etc, etc.

Agreed. I’m always a little curious if such posters are willing to say the quiet part out loud.

They posted about the was in Ukraine being bad and their disappointment with the Belarusian governments participation in it. https://darkreader.org/blog/no-war/

I'm just donated because it is so important nowadays to not stay silent. Thank You DarkReader

I'm a little shocked and disappointed to find that's considered "going political". Sigh.

The whole country did this? Fascinating. Would you also blame the whole country of Russia for the Stalin atrocities, or do you give them a pass for reasons?

just the average HN libertarian, nothing to be really shocked about... disappointing it is. i'm also sure that the dark reader contributor didn't choose all of this "political" stuff happening to them, but that's probably too complex thinking for @NooneAtAll5

Not mentioning the war is a political stance as well
