I know Scott has talked about this before, there already is a solution.

I use FF and added the "dark mode" (I did not know this existed) add-on, you can turn on/off and I think you adjust grey scale also. I switched to the new FB also and activated dark mode. With this Scott has nothing to do.

What started me looking was facebook, I needed a Dark Mode for my eyes, found it then looked for Firefox. I think if you search, every browser will have an Add-On for Dark Mode.
 
WHOAH this is awesome!!! I use a very dark skin on another site, and now I can have it everywhere! Thanks!!
 
1. In EDGE you can go to settings/Appearance/Default Theme change to Dark.

2. Then enter this into the address bar the URL below and ENABLE "Force Dark Mode for Web Content". Close and reopen edge.

edge://flags/#enable-force-dark
 
I have downloaded the add-On for Chrome and Opera also, I have everything in dark mode now.
 
On Firefox, Chrome and Opera you have to PIN the ON/OFF switch to your tool bar, then you can click it on and off like a light switch. I don't remember how I found the switch to pin it but if you need help ask, one of us can find it again.

I didn't have to do didly, it's right there and I can turn it on and adjust it for the individual sites.
Awesome eye strain relief.

On every one of mine for some reason I had to "pin it" to the bar, must be my settings.
 
I went into the options of the Dark Mode app for Opera and unclicked the Custom Ebay & Yahoo that were Black and now are changed to a lighter grey. I am sure this can be done for other browsers as mentioned above, first time I made a change as this was too dark.
 
@Tourmeister Hey Scott, any chance this is an easy switch to flip on your side?

Still happily using Dark Reader. My eyes screamed when I turned it off to compare.
 
Yea, I have my phone set to dark but my phone browser does not convert twt to dark mode for some reason. Whenever I can't sleep I am generally on here which is rough without dark mode. (Hence my post at 4:51 am)

I may just try another browser for my twt fix but we will see.
 
Any luck on this? Site is too bright to use in a dark room.

That requires another theme to be created, something I am terrible at doing. I might see if I can find a prepackaged dark theme.

Dark Reader is open source: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader


If you could just point to where in the code it collects any personal data, which is against its stated privacy policy (https://darkreader.org/privacy/), I'll eat my socks. Yes, it has to have permissions in order to work, but blame the way modern browsers are set up and websites abuse you.
