Arstechnica does this crap too.

Ars dark mode switching is infuriating, not an asshole design choice like Dexerto here

Be me,

  • Click on an article link in rss feed.Open in browser(in dark mode)

  • Ars technica doesn't change its theme.

  • Open the menu to switch theme, click on dark mode.

  • Goes to the homepage in dark mode.

  • Go back to rss reader click that link again.
