Dark or "night mode" for the forum?

[Bastian]

So, the responses reminded me that I can get extensions for my browser. I use Chrome and I found an extension for it called Screen shader. works great

Also a well-made "dark mode" extension for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome (or Chromium), Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari as well, is : Dark Reader.

PS (for Ms. Peel) : this nice extension offers two modes, (really) "dark" and "light" : I use this last one, even during the daylight, on some websites to improve their readability !
It allows also 4 settings (brightness, contrast, sepia, N/B), either for the whole web or some sites.
Quite useful, even a must-have, to me.

Having tried/used dark mode on various devices for quite some time I have noticed that it seems to hurt/destroy my eyesight and that rather quickly. Instead, the old black writing on white background seems a lot more friendly to my eyes compared to dark mode no matter how bright the surroundings.

When in normal mode I just reduce the brightness of the whole screen and that still seems far better to my eyes than any dark mode. So despite what everyone is saying including Grok I have personally found the old mode of reading black letters on white background much more tolerable to my eyes.

Yes, everybody's different. I still find dark mode to be preferable for my eyes. So I'm glad that it is available on so many different sites.

If not, it can be forced with browser add-ons. On firefox e.g. 'Dark Background and Light Text'.
