      Yeah, Dark Reader is a godsend. I just got tired of all the light mode webpages and took matters into my own hands.

      Native dark modes are better and have much less of a performance impact. It’s good as a stop gap though.

    Can’t imagine a scenario in which a person avoided using Wikipedia all their life till now just because things looked a bit brighter on screen.

    Only skimmed the article: why did their initial theme color solution affect the media contents like international orange? Feels like that would be a non-starter…
