15. Not everyone has a global dark/light browser mode, and it may not always render correctly if you do

Thu Oct 19, 2023, 08:35 AM

Oct 2023

I use the Dark Reader add-on for Firefox because I generally like everything in dark mode. But admittedly some sites do not convert correctly resulting in black text on a gray background or something like that. In those cases I have to have the add-on disabled for the problematic website and either live with the light screen or make use of the site's own night mode, if it has one.

More and more websites are now incorporating dark mode themes of their own, but I still find it easier to use the browser add-on to globally change everything.

I like the night mode because it helps me sleep while reading DU. Otherwise, I'd have to hide my desktop monitor under my pillow while I sleep. Wonder Why Oct 2023 #17

Sleeping while *reading* DU is fine, but sleeping while *posting* on DU can be problematic. sl8 Oct 2023 #18
