• Ask HN: Why is this site so stubbornly against readability and accessibility?

  Do yourself a favor and get Dark Reader[1] - [1]: https://darkreader.org. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Why is there no dark theme for Hacker News?

  I couldn't live without the Dark Reader [1] plugin. Every website is now dark. Once in a great while it does something weird, but that's on specific websites with weird stuff going on. It makes Hacker News look great. It's available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge. - [1]: https://darkreader.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Does anyone know the idiot decided gray txt on white bg was a good ideea

  I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that's unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. The police). If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes.

• Reddit has to be doing this on purpose

  Not only does Reddit support a dark mode, but there are browser extensions you can use to make anything dark mode (I'm using Dark Reader). Source: 10 months ago

• Hacker News Needs a Dark Mode

  I know you mentioned you don't like extensions, but for those that don't mind Dark Reader is really useful: https://darkreader.org/ I have it setup to enable according to the system. Also, I use the whitelist mode, so I enable on specific websites instead of having it enable for every one automatically. It's available on mobile via Firefox for Android! - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• [Announcement] RES & Reddit's upcoming API changes

  In case you need it, I found the DarkReader extension to be very useful for any site that doesn't offer a dark mode. Source: 11 months ago

• Embedded graphics in Linux - Ubuntu Frame

  The datasheet that you linked to has grey text on a white background, which is really hard to read. (You should never include grey or colours on any text where accessibility matters.) Is this the same info? (On web pages, I'm able to use a combination of DarkReader, and Dark Background and Light Text to get it into a readable state.). Source: 11 months ago

• Announcing Rust 1.70.0

  Dark Reader probably can help you with that! Source: 11 months ago

• Humble Chronicles: Managing State with Signals

  DarkReader is your friend. https://darkreader.org/ I use it on every site except a select foew that have beetter Stylus UserStyles. HN happens to be one I use a custom stylesheet for. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• [Kitakombs] Thanks to your feedback, I've changed the mazes and updated the graphics!

  Oh actually I did have one add-on running in private window but disabled for the site: https://darkreader.org/ I have darkreader on chrome as well though and it worked fine there. Source: 12 months ago

• Low Vision - White text, black background

  Alternately, the free, open-source Dark Reader (which I do use, on Safari) has a Chrome extension. It works on all websites, so, maybe he could use that to access email from the browser..? https://darkreader.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Low-contrast font color and unreadable texts? To hell with them!

  Dark reader[0] has been a godsend when it comes to readability. Sure the content isn't how the creator intended it but most of the pages don't have a dark mode option so Dark Reader's rendering suits my eyes and I find that to a certain extent, it also improves readability, especially for those low-contrast texts.

• Diary of a Wimpy Forest Ranger - General Question and Discussion Thread

  Unfortunately even with reader mode you end up with an incomplete view as some elements like tables and videos will not appear. You could try an extension like dark reader and use the light mode filter. Or try making your own css stylesheets with stylus. Or you can just literally open the print page dialog and save it as a PDF. Source: about 1 year ago

• Last badge to add to my collection. Huge thanks out to this community for helping me along the way!

  This was a snip-it screen shot of my desktop browser, Edge on Windows, with a browser extension called Dark Reader. Here is a link to their site! They list their extension on all major browsers, and apparently even have an iOS app which I was unaware of. Source: about 1 year ago
