I'd assume this is intended for web pages/apps to allow their in-page controls/navigation to fade into the background, revealing the content.
E.g. in a crud app with top/side nav, and then a form in the main section, the nav bars can be rendered as pale/dark to suit the user selection, while the main content area retains the focus.
- modernerd 8y agoYes, I definitely see the appeal for web apps. Just personally don't want to read 2,000+ word articles of white text on a dark background just because I like the browser UI to be dark. Others might, though — hopefully browsers will offer a setting for dark mode independent of the OS-level setting.

- stephenr 8y agoI think it'll be a while before most sites even consider adopting this (it's not even listed to check support on caniuse.com), and even if it does become widespread, reader mode has style-override controls to make the page more suitable for long-form reading just as it does now.
