Browser plugin which applies custom CSS?

  What about on mobile?

    Firefox Mobile supports plugins. You save a ton of battery life just running UBlock Origin with it

    Firefox on Android has some plugins that can do this.

    On Android, I've been using Kiwi Browser [0]. It's Chrome but supports extensions from the webstore like desktop chrome, and has a dark mode toggle in the menu that applies custom CSS to webpages. Also has devtools, bottom navigation bar, and a setting to disable tab grouping.

    Use Firefox with 'Ublock Origin' and add one of the following to it's 'My Filters' section: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=ycombinator.com%23%23html%3Astyle%28background-color%3A%20%233e3e42%20%21important&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

    On Android Firefox, "Dark Reader" supports HN.

  Plugins tend to make browsers more unique.

Dark theme is left as an exercise for the reader.

  Whoa, this is helpful. Used to enjoy using userscripts + greasemonkey until the extension was removed from the chrome browser store. Tampermonkey for firefox fell out of favor over the Dark Reader extension as default but didn't know uBlock Origin can be used this way.

    Check this one out to stop youtube embeds from loading until clicked: ||youtube.com^$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html ||youtube-nocookie.com^$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html Got this from gorhill, Ublock Origin's developer. He sometimes puts out tips and tricks on his twitter https://twitter.com/gorhill https://twitter.com/gorhill https://nitter.net/gorhill https://nitter.net/gorhill

Perhaps email dang? He's very responsive and helpful. I'd love this also, but it's outside of my domain to attempt to pitch in.

While not built-in to HN, I've been reading it in dark mode for so long I didn't even realize until your comment. Try the Dark Reader extension. Fantastic at transforming webpages into dark mode most of the time, without making it look like a mess. Open source. Available on Firefox and Chrome. Bonus points: available in Firefox mobile, too.
