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.
