View Wikipedia in Dark Mode with?withgadget=dark-mode

If you look at the description in TFA, it sounds like this isn’t a proper stylesheet, it’s a heavy Invert Colors implemented specifically for Wikipedia. If we’re going to be indiscriminately inverting colors and trying to piece the page back together anyway, I strongly recommend using Dark Reader [0] instead and getting the benefits of this globally. It’s open source and very good. I installed it when I…

Ask HN: Why is there no dark theme for Hacker News?

I couldn’t live without the Dark Reader [1] plugin. Every website is now dark. Once in a great while it does something weird, but that’s on specific websites with weird stuff going on. It makes Hacker News look great. It’s available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge. – [1]: https://darkreader.org/.

Ask HN: Does anyone know the idiot decided gray txt on white bg was a good ideea

I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that’s unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. The police). If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes.

Not only does Reddit support a dark mode, but there are browser extensions you can use to make anything dark mode (I’m using Dark Reader).

Hacker News Needs a Dark Mode

I know you mentioned you don’t like extensions, but for those that don’t mind Dark Reader is really useful: https://darkreader.org/ I have it setup to enable according to the system. Also, I use the whitelist mode, so I enable on specific websites instead of having it enable for every one automatically. It’s available on mobile via Firefox for Android!

Embedded graphics in Linux – Ubuntu Frame

The datasheet that you linked to has grey text on a white background, which is really hard to read. (You should never include grey or colours on any text where accessibility matters.) Is this the same info? (On web pages, I’m able to use a combination of DarkReader, and Dark Background and Light Text to get it into a readable state.).

Low Vision – White text, black background

Alternately, the free, open-source Dark Reader (which I do use, on Safari) has a Chrome extension. It works on all websites, so, maybe he could use that to access email from the browser..? https://darkreader.org/.
