      Essential for those brave enough to access unknown web pages at night

        There are a select few times that Dark Reader makes a button or text invisible and I have to turn it off and I’m reminded of how terribly bright websites normally are. Dark Reader creates a vastly improved website viewing experience.

      Wish that existed for several mobile apps that refuse to have a dark mode. I could force it with some dev options but it kinda breaks the apps somewhat. The worse thing is they have dark modes on ios or some other people’s phones but never mine for whatever reason 😒 🙄

      Dark reader and adblock are the first extensions that get installed whenever I setup a new browser

      Can’t stand the internet without em

    The dark reader extension has really helped my neighbours not noticing that I am still using my computer even at night

    Joke aside, looks like your screen brightness is too high to begin with. If it’s set correctly, a light mode tab in an otherwise dark UI should be a mild disruption, not something that blinds you.

    Legitimate suggestion: get into the habit of controlling the screen brightness and your eyes will thank you. There are DDC utils that let you control the hardware brightness (and other parameters too) of the monitor via software. I for example like ClickMonitorDDC (works well even if it’s practically abandonware), you can do things like scheduling based on time of day and controlling multiple monitors simultaneously.

      I wish it were better integrated into GNOME / KDE so I could simply use the brightness controls on my keyboard.

      I set my brightness to maximum because I work next to a window, but it’s the power of a million suns at night, especially on a high-end, colour-accurate monitor

        In my experience it’s pretty well integrated in both GNOME nad KDE I had to work to work with a plethora of keyboards on both and they always worked if I remember right

    I’m one of those genetically malfunctioned ones that prefer lightmode.

    It’s just more readable.

      I find the bright light makes it hard to read at night. To each there own, I just wish my screen would auto dim when I open a bright photo/meme.

        I’m the same it’s just I don’t often use any devices late into the night. If anyone knows how to have KDE switch between 2 themes depending on time then please let me, or us, know.

      I prefer light or dark depending on the time of day. I must not be alone, because Android has had that option built in for years.

      Especially when you have a light source other than the screen. Which everybody should.
