There're plenty of browser extensions for this which also prevent the problem you get when eventually you have to switch to a different site that doesn't have a dark mode (like 99% of the sites on the web). I use Midnight Lizard.

- Pavel-Agarkov 8y agoMidnight Lizard is an open source project: https://github.com/Midnight-Lizard/Midnight-Lizard https://github.com/Midnight-Lizard/Midnight-Lizard You can read it's privacy policy: https://midnight-lizard.org/extension-privacy https://midnight-lizard.org/extension-privacy Also starting from Chrome 70 you don't have to allow access to all websites: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/runtime_host_permissions https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/runtime_host_permiss... As a Midnight Lizard developer I'm doing my best to make sure it is as secure as it can be, but it is harder to prove that you are not doing anything bad...
- alboy 8y agoDoesn't every browser extension increase the attack surface a bit? It all comes down to your personal risk/reward profile. I can't live without an adblocker, a Vim emulator and a dark theme in my browser, but I don't use anything else.
