Seconding. Can't imagine not using darkreader in this day and age.

Yup yup. Darkreader has improved my entire internet experience, which is a huge accomplishment. Works flawlessly 99% of the time.

Dark reader is great. It can also be used to prevent fingerprinting based on your preference, as most are configured to light mode by default.

However it often makes the site nearly or completely unusable, as it isn't (and can't) always be 100% correct. Having dark mode configured by the site is often much more useful.

somehow, the "dark reader clone" that's in samsung browser it's so much accurate. Main disadvantage is that you have to use samsung browser (ugh)...

DR itself is clearly fingerprintable, more so than a dark preference.

or... just lower your monitor brightness so you don't feel like you need dark mode, which is actually worse in every way than just using the correct monitor brightness.
