Nobody cares about a scammer site like Wikipedia here

Bold claim. checks votes

Edit: first ever comment, wow.

What did they say?

DarkThoughts ,

lol
What does that even mean. Calling it propaganda would be one thing in regards to disinformation, but who are they scamming? And how? By begging you to donate?

hsdkfr734r ,

Dark Reader Plugin already solved that issue.

Monomate ,

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

I’m really surprised that it works as well as it does, given the insane amount of stuff that it interacts with. I’d think that it’d be way more fragile than it is.

I’ll also add that while I very much prefer dark mode interfaces – staring at a light mode interface in the dark is kind of like staring into a headlamp – if I had a display that (a) was reflective rather than transmissive in the sun (like eink displays are) and (b) did reasonable automatic brightness adjustment, and © software consistently made use of a color range such that “standard light background” isn’t “set every pixel on the display to its maximum brightness”, I might be okay with light mode. If I had to pick just one, I’d choose dark mode, but if technology advances, I might be okay with light mode.

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

MonkderDritte ,

“Native”. That every webpage has to implement it themselves is sad. Could be a browser feature that overrides some colors on dark.
Then again, with webapps, probably not.

This is sorta how dark reader and such works. It turns out that implementing dark mode for most websites is more complicated than inverting all the css colors. For example, some gray on white text might have enough contrast to be easily read, but when inverted the text is hard to discern or nearly invisible. Images too, they might have a white background but not look good when inverted. Native support is better

ZeroPoke ,

Funny enough they do. Before Dark Reader on Firefox on Android I had a Chrome flag that did the same thing. But Dark Reader does a better job IMO.

Aethr ,

Chrome flag works on some websites, but makes others completely unreadable. Do not recommend unless you can’t use dark reader

hsdkfr734r , (edited )

Maybe. Does it make a big performance difference which css (dark reader or delivered by wiki) is used?

Is it known how the default to dark mode setting is persisted if let’s say a plugin removed all the Wikipedia cookies on window close? A get or post parameter?

Either way it’s a good thing that wiki offers a dark mode.

Dark reader is one of the heaviest extensions you use, lots of dom modifications. It also passes around far too much data between processes.

hsdkfr734r ,

lots of dom modifications

That’s good to know. These modifications are needed to replace the style sheet details, I guess?

passes around far too much data between processes.

What does this mean? Do you have a link where I could read up on the details? Thanks.

Native dark modes are better

Agreed. Well, I don’t know if it’d deal with random images as well, as users can upload those.

and have much less of a performance impact.

For a number of sites, you can just get away with running Dark Reader in static mode and it works well enough. Considerably faster.

EDIT: Actually, thanks for reminding me. I’ve never donated to Dark Reader, and it looks like they ask for a $10 donation if you use it regularly, and that plugin has dramatically improved my Web-browsing experience. Going to do that now.

Armand1 ,

Also just donated

Dark reader team be like “Guys! We’re eating pizza tonight!”

pineapplelover ,

Not a fan of dark reader. It has a weird blue tint to things. I much prefer Dark Background and Light Text. That extensions has a true black background.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

You can change the color.

pineapplelover ,

Been a while since I’ve tested that extension out, does it have stylesheet, css, or invert modes so different pages can be shown differently?
