Does having colours on your site (such as theirs) increase energy? Should we only have black and white websites since black uses less energy on OLED/LCD?
I am a big fan of sustainability, but this seems a little bit much.

- shadowfaxRodeo 5y agoThe energy usage is very small — as mobile devices are generally very efficient. But the impact it has on battery life is big — and using more battery results in the battery dying sooner and then the consumer needing to get a new phone. A simple half-way solution to this is just to support a dark mode. People generally prefer it anyway.
