The Chrome Extension "Dark Reader" has given me months of dark mode for hundreds of websites to include Stack Overflow. Given the long hours and late nights, it has been invaluable to both my productivity and eyesight.

- pedrokost 7y agoChrome has this built-in as a flag: chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark It will render all web pages with dark mode
- galacticaactual 7y agoCool, didn't know that. The extension allows for whitelisting, dynamic toggling, etc. FYI.
- lukevp 7y agoYou may want to look into the science of this if you are doing it for your eyesight. I think dark mode looks great but it’s not definitely better for you. https://tidbits.com/2019/05/31/the-dark-side-of-dark-mode/ https://tidbits.com/2019/05/31/the-dark-side-of-dark-mode/
- callmejorge 7y agoIt's interesting how the author argues that eyes can perceive dark-on-light more, but intuitively one would assume that light-on-dark is easier to discern (like bright lights in the night) Ultimately the best option is probably a progressive change in colors through out the day.
- ravenstine 7y agoThat extension is amazing! I tried 4 different alternatives and they all had either terrible performance or just didn't work well for 1 in 4 websites.
- quaffapint 7y agoI've been using Dark Reader for about a month or so now and though it's anecdotal it has really helped with my dry/irritated eyes. I realize it could be other factors as well, but I notice that I can go longer without my dry eyes bugging we with it on then with normal bright pages.
