On: Dark mode in a website with CSS

[skunkworker]

I currently use 'DARK READER' for hacker news and it works quite well using the 'Filter+' theme engine.

I use the following: https://userstyles.org/styles/113994/hacker-news-dark

Works great.

I've put an updated version here. This updated version is an UserCSS, which means it can be automatically enabled/disabled based on system Dark Mode setting.

Awesome, and I see you fixed the vote button colors.

The problem with browser extensions is that they're a massive security risk.

On some sites I've used it to get a good baseline then export the CSS and modify it from there.

How do you get your browser to even load custom CSS without an extension?

Without an extension, I don’t know an easy way. You could just build your own extensions from scratch and load it there. I used it to style my own sites for dark mode.

In my browser, Preferences > Advanced > Style sheet.
