What is Reddit's opinion of
Dark Reader?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ Dark Reader website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
94 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Of course there are free alternatives. You will find a static dark theme for a popular website or a script based on CSS filters, some websites already have built-in dark mode (YouTube, Twitter, Reddit). Dark Reader provides a Dynamic mode that overcomes disadvantages of other methods and tries to look perfectly on every website. But at the same time it is technically complex and requires woking on it full time. Here I described where the price comes from and why it is free for other browsers. For some people $5 is expensive, but those who have photophobia or migraines are ready to donate $100 for the development.
No need for the app or the company to be large.
I'm a web dev and a massive dark mode user, my boss won't let me take time to work on a dark mode as long as there are priority tasks (i.e. forever)
I do have an advantage over soft devs though : at least I can use Dark Reader and take a little time to optimize the app for it.
For anyone who's interested in a temporary dark theme, the Dark Reader extension is pretty good. It tries to convert web pages with light themes into dark themes, and it works really well on most websites I use. Here's what it looks like with MangaDex right now.
The easiest way to get wikipedia in dark mode is to install an add-on for for your browser. I use this https://www.wikiwand.com/, which has a few other functions that improve the usability of wikipedia.
For other websites I use https://darkreader.org/, which enables a dark mode for almost every website with minimal loss in readability.
For those of you sorting by new and are waiting for a new patch, you can use https://twitchls.com/ which uses a player that seems to be unaffected by the new ads system.
It has no built in dark mode, however the Dark Reader Extension works pretty well.
DIY Trade Republic Darkmode für Desktop
Ich nutze die Browsererweiterung Dark Reader schon länger und hab sie entsprechend des fehlenden Darkmodes bei der neuen Trade Republic Desktop app auch ausprobiert. Ich nutze sie in Firefox (auch unter Android möglich übrigens), aber es gibt sie auch für Chrome. Ist ein open source Projekt; Infos/Downloadlinks unter https://darkreader.org
Wichtig ist, den richtigen theme generation mode "Filter" für diese Seite zu wählen. Hierzu meine Settings: https://imgur.com/a/f6n0xp4
Ich hoffe damit kann jemand was anfangen, so lange Trade Republic nicht selbst einen Dark Mode implementiert.
I've been doing this for a while, and the basic concept is that it gives you instant recognition when opening a survey whether or not you will have a high chance of successfully completing it.
In your chosen browser that you use for SB, install the <strong>Dark Reader</strong> extension/add-on, then when you come across a survey that succeeds, before closing the window or hitting the finish button, create a theme for that site. This will retain every time you get a survey from that provider. Alternatively, you can probably do something similar with a custom userstyle, but that would take more time.
Just a quick basic trick that can help out with surveys.
From Dark Reader FAQ:
>The extension asks for permissions to read website data
>
>The extension needs these permissions to be able to analyze and modify website appearence, determine if a website is disabled by your settings or to use site-specific rules. We do not insert ads and do not collect any data or send it anywhere. The extension is fully open-source and has no obfuscated code. Our monetization is transparent and is based on users' donations.
Figured I'd mention these to you in case you didn't know
https://overdodactyl.github.io/ShadowFox/ - Theme for firefox, when it works, stops being blinded by new tabs.
https://darkreader.org/ - Works great in multiple browsers, and across 99% of the websites I encounter
I like these settings
Brightness: -20
Contrast: -10
Sepia: +30
If I'm being completely honest, I'm only just now realizing that the dark mode isn't the normal mode for OpenStreetMaps. I just always assumed that was how it looked by default.
I'm pretty sure its a tool I have on my browser doing it, but I can't say for certain. It's called Dark Reader, and you can find it here: https://darkreader.org/
Have you tried Dark Reader? I use it on all my browsers. It's free everywhere, except on Safari and it intelligently adjusts colors.
Every website has a dark theme, whether they want to or not!
Admittedly, there are issues sometimes, so you might have to switch between dynamic mode and filter mode, but one or the other usually works and you can save they setting globally or for each website. You can also turn it off specifically for some websites, when their own dark theme is good enough. There's also a contrast adjustment.
It's the first thing I paid for on the Mac App Store, because it's just that good.
Unfortunately Reddit uses dynamic styling (Styled Components), so Dark Reader cannot detect when changes occur. It will be improved soon by checking the changes with some interval. Dark Reader's dynamic mode is rather new and not polished yet https://darkreader.org/blog/dynamic-theme/
I've used Dark Reader for a while and found it to be one of the better night mode extensions. It has a fair few adjustment options and is available on Chrome + FireFox (not IE though unfortunately). Not certain about saving settings across browsers but might be worth a look. https://darkreader.org/
Just download the 'Dark Reader' extension on whatever browser you're using. You can make plex and pretty much any website go as dark as you want.
Example of what 'Dark Reader' can do to plex here.
The specific settings that I used in the extension's menu are here. Just make sure to tick the "Only for example(dot)com" button on the bottom of the extension's menu in order to edit the settings for only that specific website. Also, keep note that you can turn the extension off for any given website, but not for all websites at the same time, by clicking the checkmark next to any website's address in the top left of the extension's menu.
It works great once you get the UI and basic features of it down. It's definitely a must-have!
Are you using the native functionality to turn pages into dark mode? Unfortunately it's not perfect, I suggest you try https://darkreader.org/ and wait for them to improve the functionality because it's very complicated to manage.
iOS 15 will allow Safari extensions on iPhone/iPad. There’s already the Dark Reader Safari extension that works great in Safari Mac and switches between web page light and dark based on the system theme. Maybe that’s something to look forward to for the fall.
One last note- unlike Chrome extension for Dark Reader which is free, the version for Safari is paid extension from the Mac App Store for $4.99. I do find that the Safari DR extension works better than it does on Chrome under the same settings (Auto).
How does this compare to something like Darkreader?
With some custom userChrome (and Pywalfox) + Darkreader theme, I can get a similar effect.
Genuinely curious, it looks really slick.
I use following extension: https://darkreader.org/
It's easy to use, I haven't noticed any delays and the advantage is that I can turn it of via shortcut when a site is impossible to use in darkmode.
Hey guys I've wanted to write a post but this doesn't work probably due to my karma, please take a look at stackexchange question for the original content, or let me copy paste it here:
​
I'm pondering an idea about browser based, concentrated dark mode/dark theme service's that operate pretty much like current superb add-on Dark Reader.
What makes me wonder why does the community that usually optimizes for not repeating work among developers, does take the burden of developing a dark theme for pretty much every popular web application.
Wouldn't it be wiser to develop a set of standards when it comes to colour management, maybe even a .darktheme config file to override some of the basic settings, alongside a single browser based dark mode program for every browser that operates on the principle of current dark reader? I mean the reader is so good that I pretty much prefer it to custom made dark modes on most of the sites anyway.
What's your insight on this matter?
My personal opinion is that it's the inevitable future, but I haven't found any signs that the process has started yet.
EDIT- before someone suggests sticking to the Dark Reader extension, It's all good but compare a little a bit clunky extension developed by few enthusiasts to fully fledged browser options backed by hundreds of full-time developers.
Thanks!
Works really well with very few exceptions (mostly hypermodern websites that do weird stuff). Easy to disable once something doesn't work (or has already better dark mode natively).
On the PC I just run DarkReader (https://darkreader.org/) for most sites (have exceptions turned on for some)
Can play with the settings a bit but this is what I found I liked: Brightness -10, Contrast -30, Sepia +5, Grayscale +5
I did see the Sheets iPad app now has a dark theme though
Do you have Dark Reader or equivalent enabled? Sometimes things can get wonky when it changes one of the font or background colors, but not the other.
Sometimes disabling and re-enabling DR will fix it
Good work, though I personally just use the Dark Reader which works great with the vast majority of websites.
I find the following settings look great: >-20% brightness
>-10% contrast
>+30% sepia
Btw its on firefox too and totally safe. Been using it for a year now. The thing is, there are some sketchy copies of this exact one (ik there are other apps that do the whole dark mode thing, but this is different). Scroll to the bottom of this page to ensure you get the right one for your browser.
You have to enable it manually in the Dark Reader - there is a checkbox in the "Site list" page:
https://darkreader.org/help/en/#site-list
It's called "Enable on restricted pages"
Here's a screenshot of this sub on Old Reddit. I added red circles around the index numbers that I am referring to.
I am not using RES or any other Reddit-specific browser extensions. I am using Dark Reader (which is why it looks like I have dark mode despite Old Reddit not having a native dark mode).
I second the recommendation of https://darkreader.org/. I use it on Firefox. It works extremely well 99% of the time. You can disable it on websites where it doesn't work -- or edit the CSS so it does work. But 99% of the time it just works.
Ok, lustig. Ich hab alle Erweiterungen ausgemacht und nach der Reihe aktiviert um herauszukriegen, ab wann die Videos crashen. Ergebnis: die Erweiterung darkreader ist für den fehlenden Playback-Button verantwortlich. Die Erweiterung macht eigentlich nur die hellen Hintergrundfarben dunkel, von daher hatte ich sie nicht verdächtigt. Danke für deine Hilfe, ich hab den Entwicklern der App per Mail bescheid gegeben.
I mean the Dark Reader extension, which applies a dark theme to all web sites, even if they don't officially support it.
I use it in conjunction with scheduled dark theme on both my PC and my phone, and it really helps to read at night. I guess the problem is that Gnome Web doesn't support extensions in general.
Then use a dedicated extension: Dark Reader.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh
Brightness and contrast can be adjusted. :)
it has options to make certain sites work better and each page has its own config if you wish so
like for example you could black list websites that have their own dark modes
I use Dark reader, agree it has the option turned on by default, didn't find a way to turn it off by default but there is many option or you can contact the devs, they seems to be very active
>it significantly slows down the web browser.
I only had issues with DR in Firefox, and if your PC can't handle the "dynamic" mode, use the Static, Filter or Filter+ modes
​
>Filter is the initial Dark Reader mode based on CSS filters. It inverts the whole page and reverts some parts back. Requires GPU resources. It is fast and powerful, but has several issues: it disables text sub-pixel rendering, inverts already dark parts into light, causes lags on large pages, and fails to render some pages in Firefox.
>
>Filter+ is the same as Filter, but is based on custom SVG filters and handles colors better making images less dull. Works poorly in Firefox.
>
>Static rapidly generates a basic stylesheet.
>
>Dynamic deeply analyzes website stylesheets, background images, and vector graphics. Requires some resources on initial page load, but produces the best visual results. The work on this mode is in progress, but it already works well for many modern websites.
Dark reader its a famous old extension in the community. I trust in Dark reader, zero problems in firefox and open source. Also you can read the privacy police of the app in its page https://darkreader.org/privacy/
It doesn't seem unapproachable at all. It looks like a professional web site.
- I, too, prefer a dark mode, but I just use DarkReader.
- Images draw people in, explain what's going on in a friendly, inviting manner. More novices are going to be confused or turned off if there's nothing but a page full of plain code examples.
- If you want to skip the images, navigate to the page where you want to start and bookmark that so you can bypass the images and go straight to the code.
I understand some of what you're saying, but I don't think you're taking into account the variety of users that the site is trying for.
I know this is a really old thread, but I found this while looking for stats on old vs. new Reddit usage, and I'm curious to hear more from the perspective of someone who switched from old to new Reddit and actually liked it.
Personally, even years later, I still can't stand the redesign. My biggest complaint is that it wastes enormous amounts of screen real estate. Comparing the old to the new, I'm able to see 15 posts on the page without scrolling, and can expand and collapse them at will.
I can only see three posts at once at most without scrolling on new Reddit, and image posts can't be collapsed. Not to mention the huge bars of completely wasted empty space on each side of the page. It would work for portrait-layout mobile browsers, but on desktop it just makes everything look crammed in the middle of the page.
Granted, I have to get night mode from RES (or darkreader if RES weren't an option) but other than that, I'm curious to know what you find about new reddit to be better than the old...
More or less what Firefox would do to force websites into dark mode would be similar to what the extensions do. It would have similar performance. You can try Dark Reader's theme generator mode for better performance.
Google is currently A/B testing dark mode, so it should arrive soon(ish).
You can use the Dark Reader extension to force dark mode on websites. Note that you might notice websites loading slower with this extension.
Some browsers like Firefox have a reader view that supports dark mode. Otherwise, you may be looking for a browser extension like Dark Reader, which adds dark mode to all sites.
your personal preference is 'i dont care', but a lot of us love dark themes because it's very much more pleasant to our eye strain. check out DarkReader addon for browsers and turn it on at night time, after browsing in normal white theme. i use it all the time.
Well you might also want to check out https://darkreader.org/ then :) Using the "native" dark mode is probably going to be slightly better for most websites, but for the rest, Dark Reader works just fine.
replying for those curious anyway:
iOS: Settings > Display & Brightness > Automatic (you can then tweak some settings underneath)
macOS: System Preferences > General > Appearance > Auto
Android 10-11: Settings > Display > Night Mode > Turn on automatically (don't own an Android device, so I can't confirm this)
Windows: Auto Dark Mode by Armin2208 on GitHub
Web: Dark Reader
>Yes. But not available for Android Nougat or lower. :(
Ah, can't say anything to that.
>I meant this
Still while it's not a built in function, Dark Reader does the same thing(?). I don't really prefer dark mode, unless it's the default, so dunno how similar it is. I just lower the brightness of my screen. Or use Screen Dimmer if I required it even lower.
I use this browser extension on chrome, it seems to auto-detect if a web page is already in dark mode, and if not it converts it into a dark mode. Its not perfect but its pretty good
https://darkreader.org/
Not sure what you mean by "active blocks." If I have no other them code blocks set for css and if I put Carmine first in the list, ought it not take precedence over other blocks below?
BTW if you haven't explored the customizable effects of Dark Reader (suggest enter the experimental mode) for Carmine and other themes, it is pretty awesome used judiciously.
I'll circle back to this issue, Carmine looks interesting enough to explore. Thanks for your help!
Are you using 3rd party apps like Dark Reader which allows website to take on dark mode,
I find the app buggy Chrome and since Edge is Chromium it might be experiencing the same.
I also use it on Safari (macOS) which is the only paid version and unsurprising it’s the least buggy of the 3.
Not OP but I use both modes. Light mode most things during the day, dark mode everything at night. Anything I can't automatically switch and some things like Discord, I keep dark all the time, but the rest is mostly automated.
On desktop, I have f.lux setting the Windows theme to Dark at sunset, which most programs then pick up, including my browser where it then gets picked by the Dark Reader extension to force every website to go dark.
On mobile, its similar but system dark theme is tied to battery saver on my OS, but I haven't been using it that much lately anyway and it's not that hard to manually toggle on, so no big deal.
Thanks!
I use dark mode on everything, and for the web I suggest https://darkreader.org/ . It's a game changer.
Keep in mind that you can tweak the rules to fit your case. I usually manage to do 1h/day for all days but 3/4, same thing with Inktober. 1h/day is the minimum, if you want you can do 8 :P, but I assure you that 1h/day is a lot. Your brain works in the hours in between.
People used to recommend a browser extension called Stylish back in the day for Showdown tweaks and general website readability, but it was revealed that it was tracking the browsing history of users after it was acquired by a web data company. These days, I would recommend Dark Reader for your case, which also allows switching a website to be light-themed. I use it quite a bit for various websites, and it works fantastically by default on most.
Firefox, but thanks. Between this and another post where someone built their own dark version of the page, I got to checking.
Found the Dark Reader extension. Forces dark on every page, simple enough so far. https://darkreader.org/
Add uBlock Origin and a quick "block element" and I got rid of the giant FIFA banner too.
Navigating to about:networking#dns, I see two DNS lookup when I launch Dark Reader:
darkreader.github.io darkreader.org
From what I gather, the request to darkreader.github.io redirects to darkreader.org.
The request is to fetch latest news:
https://darkreader.org/blog/posts.json?date=2020-10-22
A JSON response:
0 Object { id: "v4-9-16", date: "2020-07-30T10:33Z", headline: "v4.9.16: Theme presets, export generated CSS and more" } id "v4-9-16" date "2020-07-30T10:33Z" headline "v4.9.16: Theme presets, export generated CSS and more" 1 Object { id: "v4-9", date: "2020-06-26T09:26Z", headline: "v4.9: Huge performance improvements, try version 5 preview" } id "v4-9" date "2020-06-26T09:26Z" headline "v4.9: Huge performance improvements, try version 5 preview" [...]
As per CRX viewer, the outgoing network request occurs at launch and then every four hours afterward. On my side I observed that ultimately the request to darkreader.org is fulfilled from the browser cache.
My point is that providing all these details upfront will help to dispel misunderstanding -- when I read you original post I had this impression Dark Reader was doing something suspicious.
Now whether what it really does is acceptable is open to debate, but at least the details help rule out it does something worst than one might end up imagining when no details are provided up front.
One thing that helps me is the program F.lux. It changes the color temperature of the screen based on the time of day. This is meant to reduce blue light and help regulate your sleep schedule better. You can make it change by the time or you can have a static profile. The warmer color temperature is easier on my eyes.
For websites there is a browser extensions called Dark Reader. It works well for most websites and lets you customize the colors and darkness of the theme. It is available for a variety of browsers:https://darkreader.org/
If a macOS app doesn't support the native dark mode it might be difficult to make it dark, but I don't have much experience with that. The past few versions of macOS have become very difficult to theme. Before that ti was easier.
There's no Settings -> Customize in Fennec... guess I'll have to try the "real" firefox then :(
As for dark websites, I use Dark Reader: it's great but it defaults to "on" for all sites, which sometimes messes things up... if you go to the settings, however, you can tell it that you want to manually enable it on selected websites. Recommended.
Yeah don't use Google's editor. You're doing yourself a disservice. Just download clasp, it's really easy to use. Then download VS Code. I think it supports JS out of the box, but you can get some plugins like "Beautify" which automatically formats your code so it looks nice. Or "ESLint" which pops up warnings when it sees some bad code.
If you insist on using Google's editor (which you are just gimping yourself), you can have dark mode by using the extension Dark Reader which is on 4 different browsers (I can only vouch for Firefox). It's pretty good.
edit: your post encouraged me to make this mini-tutorial on clasp
In Chrome, you can use an easy extension for this and then tweak per site or disable. I tried several but the one I like best (so far) is called Dark Reader.
There are a number of ways to tweak filters and add custom site settings, but the defaults so far have been good enough compared to the alternative white background on most pages.
Works in the new Edge and Opera. Have not looked, but there may be similar for Firefox.
Me too. I can't use the web they way designer made it, mostly with ridiculous grey text on a glaring white background.
Try Dark Reader, it changed the way I view the web, quite literally.
According to dark readers own website "Filter+ it the same as Filter, but is based on custom SVG filters and handles colors better making images less dull. Works bad in Firefox." Maybe they have fixed it. https://darkreader.org/help/en/
I use Dark Reader add-on and it is great. It automatcly generates a dark theme for the websites you visit. The only problem I have is scanning the QR code on whatsapp web.
Also check the dark theme for firefox, then your browser will be complete on dark mode.
Firefox tells website to use dark mode, but it's up to website to decide if they accept it or not.
Forcing websites to use dark mode is not as easy as it seems. Websites use many color schemes and you can't just invert colors or make it somehow dark because it won't look good. And calculating correct colors takes some time and performance. Chromium version does this quickly, so it doesn't always look good. Dark Reader by default does this more dynamically, so it can look better but requires more resources.
Dark Reader also supports other theme generation modes which require less resources but can't create so good results. You can try them to see if they improve performance for you.
Is it possible to make this change sync with the current Dark Reader dark/light made that I've got set in Firefox?
Awesome to have PDFs in Dark Mode, but would be even more awesome if I could easily toggle light and dark mode!
Looks like he's using the Dark Reader extension. Available on Firefox and Chrome.
What mode were you running it in? I find dynamic is okay. Both of the filter options are not good imo. Dynamic just changes stylesheet color values, filter actually does image processing.
Also the latest version from June 26 claims very large performance improvements for Firefox
https://darkreader.org/blog/v4-9/
> In Dark Reader 4.9.9 we've done enormous amount of performance improvements. The loading speed of some huge web pages has increased 5x times. Firefox users should now get nearly the same experience as Chrome users have.
I work as programmer, and i have floaters too :(
It was really hard for me at the beginning.
I enabled dark themes on all application i used, or changed to similar apps with dark themes.
There are nice extension https://darkreader.org/, that helps me a lot, and i use Chrome dark mode on android.
Also you can low you light in room, and brightness of you screen.
And try to find remote work, because it hard to build comfortable environment in office, and all offices i worked, was bright, white and with a lot of glass.
Win10/MacOS have dark themes or if you *nix user, it is not difficult to make it dark.
Blue light blocking glasses helps a bit too.
I think, if you have floaters, became a programmer it is a nice choice, couse most of IDE's or other apps for programming have dark themes and you can work from home in most comfortable environment.
Sry for possible mistakes, English is not my native language.
Get Dark Reader and you'll never have to leave home without dark mode again.
Also friendly reminder that Firefox on Android (and iOS?) supports extensions, so you can take uBlock Origin and Dark Reader with you on the go
try this: select everything > conditional formatting > =ISBLANK(A1) or =NOT(LEN(A1))
... but for the best performance, though, check out Dark Reader. This is by far the easiest way to handle this if you want a true dark mode. This works for pretty much every site, too, which is really nice.
Try grabbing https://darkreader.org/ it has a darkmode (which you probably don't want) and a slider for more brightness and more contrast. Press ctrl + '+' to make the text larger and you should be all set
Are you around any bright lights at bedtime? I knew at least one person who would always have trouble when they worked late in a lab with fluorescent lights.
Waking up could be a sign of untreated sleep apnea, which alcohol would make worse. Does your partner mention abnormal patterns in your breathing at night?
Anyway here’s the light restriction portion of what I’m doing for my delayed sleep phase disorder.
2 hours before bedtime (eg 10pm)
Avoid any “bright white” (5600K color temperature) or fluorescent light. Replace them with “warm white” (2600K color temperature) lights.
Use night shift and dark mode on all computers, tablets, and phones. Install the Dark Reader extension on your web browser.
Being familiar with sleep hygiene is good too.
Use a small screen, turn the brightness down, turn on night shift mode in the operating system, and use something like Dark Reader so 90% of the screen isn’t blazing away with pure white.
Yeah, I have seen a therapist and it was good for rending more objective thoughts and having an objective sounding board. I don’t think there should be a stigma for it.
Thanks for the recommendation for meditation 👍
You should check about this extension in google chrome store, there is malware in dark theme extension but I’m not sure if this the one you using.
Read about this here: https://darkreader.org/blog/attention/
It's a browser extension/addon. I use Dark Background Light Text (Firefox, Chrome) and Dark Reader (for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge) for different browsers.
:)
Do you remember when Firefox Quantum was born, it was meant to modernize the browser, one of the reasons was to move to support Webextensions format for the addons.
Web extensions started as Chromium format, and the standard was adopted by the W3C (worldwide web consortium). So all browsers now use webextensions, if any addon for Firefox exists, odds are extremely likely that add-on exists for chromium.
Edge is 100% compatible with all chromium addons, you can install from the curated selection on MS Store, or install directly from chrome web store. That said:
I much prefer dark themes on apps, programs, and websites. There is an addon for many internet browsers called Dark Reader and it's absolutely wonderful. Every once in a while it creates problems for some websites, but it's easy to just turn off Dark Reader with a quick click. It's totally worth it.
It would be nice if sites were darker by default, but I have heard some people say they have serious problems reading light text on a dark background as opposed to the other way around. I am not sure how prevalent that is.
> You said "privacy"..New tab background same as desktop background when?
Just set it manually. Also why would you give your browser access to your PC's info? That's the opposite of privacy
> Forced dark theme when?(the flashlights are not fun)
Just get this extension, that's not on brave to decide
> "Disable javascript" not breaking every single site when?
You seem to have no idea what Javascript is or why disabling it brakes websites. Javascripts enables almost everything on websites, from simple button-clicking to launching other scripts and so on. Disabling such an essential service always will brake something on the modern web
> Video popout option when?
That's not something a browser does, but the website itself
> Importing bookmarks from any other browser than Firefox when?
pretty sure that already works
> Option to disable forcefully switching to a new tab when?
click on the link with Shift+middle-mousebutton
I think more than a few people are wondering why "dark themes" are not typically offered with such popular software (for example, it took Microsoft over 2 decades to offer a default dark theme for Windows, and even now it is not available system-wide). I haven't tried that browser, but I use https://darkreader.org/ for Chrome and it works ok for me.
My advice- install a better content/ad-blocker for Safari. 1Blocker is nice but for a price (but worth it IMO).
If you use dark mode at night- Dark Reader which is free for other browsers but $5 for Safari. Still worth if you browser in the dark.
I just use Dark Reader, works on most sites, there are some sites where it gets a bit laggy or content doesn't load right, e.g., Facebook give me some problems, but you can adjust per site, so it's not really a problem for me.
I wonder whether https://darkreader.org/ still works on PDFs, with the Filter and Filter+ theme engines.
Also, why don't we still have Table of Contents?
And when are they gonna fix Edge's Ctrl + V behavior of the touch keyboard?
You can set the skin to Reversi on AO3 here https://archiveofourown.org/skins. I prefer it because ff.net's dark theme still has a white toolbar and buttons, which looks blinding against a dark page.
That said, I actually don't use skins on AO3 anymore. Instead I the browser add on Dark Reader instead because it works for all websites and allows more customization.
One thing I might suggest as an alternative is Dark Reader, it's an addon for Chrome and Firefox. It gives a dark theme to every website you visit, with no intervention needed by the end user. Not trying to take away from the work being done here as you do have much more control in terms of color schemes with Stylus.
download and install shadowfox
I would also suggest DarkReader if you are a nightowl who hates anything remotely white on the screen
4-5 hours seems low. With OLED you theoretically could get better battery life if you blackout everything.
/r/amoledbackgrounds may have a cool wallpaper for you, most are for phones, but many of those have no borders so you won't be able to tell.
Dark reader is a free and open source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that can help darken most websites.
Have a look, you could gain a free 30 mins of charge.
While you wait... if you access your account through Firefox, Safari or a Chrome-based browser, I recommend a remarkable dark theme extension, called Dark Reader.
It's automatic, and almost always gets the color transposition right, with combinations which are at the same time easy to read, soft on the eyes and beautiful.
In the rare cases where the result is not satisfactory, one of the other pre-set filters will make it right. Independently of Tutanota use, if you're into dark themes, I cannot encourage you enough to have a look at it.
I have been using a plugin called darkreader: https://darkreader.org/
As long as your use standards compliant markup your site will look good with it.
I really hope dark mode becomes a standard feature for the web. Like users can just hit a button in their browser to tell all websites to use dark mode if they have it available, or vis versa, use light mode.
- clock app for setting and dismissing timers that syncs with ios
- weather app
- more dynamic wallpapers
- dark reader-like functionality built into safari (this is probably the most unlikely to happen)
- password autofill outside safari
I'm not sure if it's the same extension, but I use one that does the same thing called Dark Reader. It works great on Firefox. I haven't tried it on Safari, but according to their website, there is a Safari version.
I'm not sure about Stylish alternatives, but I use the Dark Reader extension(https://darkreader.org) for "dark mode". It can automatically switch on when Dark Mode enabled in Safari, and it can dim websites instead inverting colours. You need to pay for it for Safari, but you might want to try it for free for Chrome to see whether it works for you

Also, consider https://darkreader.org/help/en/#theme-generation-modes but NB when I last checked, the true initial mode differed from the documented initial mode.
You can still use Dark Reader, but in Static mode.

> - Filter is initial Dark Reader mode … > > … > > - Dynamic deeply analyzes website stylesheets, background images, vector graphics. Requires some resources on initial page load, but produces the best visual results. The work on this mode is in progress, but it already works well for many modern websites.
I found that Dynamic (not Filter) was initialised.
Anyone else?
Dark Mode. Install an add-on to your browser of Choice, and it can really help with going to sleep after browseing Reddit in the Middle of the Night/ just using the internet at night/ makes websites just look better.
I use Dark Reader and recommend it, it also has a lighter dark mode and other features, but there are plenty of add-ons if you just do a quick search for Dark Mode.
I'd like to recommend anyone who sees this to try out Dark Reader. It lets you have dark theme on any website. You can customize how they look and whether its enabled on a website by website basis. Extremely useful, big shoutout to u/lordtet for showing it to me!
If you would like to use static CSS theme in Dark Reader:
- Open More tab.
- Click Only for button.
- Choose Static.
- Click orange edit icon.
- Find some dark theme on userstyles.org website, copy the code excluding @-moz-document { ... } wrapper, it is invalid CSS.
I haven't noticed any monumental changes in battery life on my MacBook nor the MacBook Pro 2015 15" that I owned before. I would consult benchmarks online if you want more detailed analyses. I'll look online as well and let you know if I find anything.
But yeah dark mode is so dope! Also, if you like dark modes in general, I can't suggest the chrome/safari extension DarkReader enough. It darkens every webpage automatically, and does it super well too.
