Dark Reader extension for Chrome.

On Android, Vivaldi supports dark more out of the box. It's actually just a toggle for the dark mode present on any chromium-based browser, and you can enable it globally in any of them in chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark Dark Reader, often recommended, is very slow, especially on old hardware. This built-in mode is much more efficient and works well on vast majority of pages.

The suggestion has been brought up and dang has commented on it over the years. He doesn't seem opposed to it per se. It's possible your descendants may live to see dark-mode HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23199062 See also: dang + "dark mode": https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... dang + "on the list" (lol): https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

If you're on one of the betas for about-to-be-released apple OS’s, there's a new describe an extension functionality and building a dark mode for HN is exactly what I just used it to do. Super easy, and synced across all my devices. I know this sounds like an ad, but I was pretty impressed with it
I am using Stylus and this theme: body { background-color: #262626 !important; } body > center > table, input, textarea { background-color: #222 !important; } body > center > table > tbody > tr:first-child > td { background-color: #ff6600 !important; } /* Bright text */ td.title a:link, span.comment font, span.comment font a:link, u a:link, span.yclinks a:link, body:not([id]), td:nth-child(2):not(.subtext) > a:link, input, textarea, p > a, a > u, .c00, .c00 a:link, a[href="http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"], a[href="https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"] { color: #ccc !important; } .admin td { color: #aaa !important; } /* search box and comment box */ input, textarea { border: 1px solid #828282 !important; }

This is the Chrome Extension that I use, I love it because it has a Safari version that you can use on your iPhone: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hn-dark-mode/abpjfl...

I use the "Comments Owl for Hacker News" Firefox extension - https://soitis.dev/comments-owl-for-hacker-news It has a "Dark Mode" under options, plus it allows you to revisit a thread later and know which comments are new.

I used "Override colors" under Settings -> Accessibility to set nice dark colors. Then I used userChrome.js from https://github.com/AlexVallat/firefox-scripts/ to add a button which toggles the browser preferences "browser.display.use_system_colors" and "browser.display.document_color_use", so I can still access bright mode if needed.

Firefox desktop and mobile let you install addons like https://darkreader.org/ which work great.
