I believe at this point dark mode should be treated as an accessibility feature and built right into browsers and css hints. Until that, just use DarkReader extension with suitable settings. It can change brightness, contrast, saturation and plays well with syntax coloring etc. Screws up only a few sites where you can turn it off on per-site basis. No in-site dark mode does that, and dark modes are often even more toxic than bright modes.
I might be at a loss here, but I cannot use dark-themed webpages. They are totally blurred and unreadable for me...
My only hope is that light-themed documents will be kept
Seems to cause issues with black SVG pictures for now<p>Like in this: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf_bifurcation" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf_bifurcation</a>
I tried it yesterday and it completely breaks pictures with transparency.<p>You cannot view a page about electronic circuits with dark mode on as they blend in with the background.
When I want to use a site in darkmode, I always use this code as a bookmarklet:<p><pre><code> s=document.createElement('style');
s.textContent=`
* {
color: #2c2 !important;
background: #222 !important;
font-family: arial !important;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(s);
</code></pre>
I use a lot of bookmarklets, so I wrote a tool to convert clean code to bookmarklets and vice versa:<p><a href="https://www.gibney.org/bookmarklet_editor" rel="nofollow">https://www.gibney.org/bookmarklet_editor</a>
I've been using Dark Reader for a long time and even donated for their amazing work. It is my favorite Chrome Extension by a large margin.<p><a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dark-reader/eimadpb...</a>
I still think dark mode should be a browser feature. Not a feature of every website.<p>In a broader sense, the whole design of a site could be selectable via the browser. Similar to how CSS Zengarden works:<p><a href="https://www.csszengarden.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.csszengarden.com</a><p>But with layouts that are stored on the user's computer and applicable to every website.
So, when will they fix the graphs? It's been going on for over a year. Not that I mind dark mode, but it seems like first you fix the current problems, then you get around to adding new ones.
I use dark mode on my IDEs partially to feel cool. I also use max blue-light mod like Mac's Night Shift on everything. Helps the eyes. Then again, some things I expect to NOT be dark mode.

We could have saved a fortune in electricity if dark mode was a default and as a standard rolled out decades ago across everything.<p>One of my old CS teachers would rant about googles evil choice of white background.
