OMG YES!
As I age, Dark Mode is the one thing saving my eyes on many of the sites I regularly frequent... Actually, I think reading bright monitors has irreversibly damaged my vision a lot over time.
I shouldn't have to use a browser plug-in to manually tweak CSS on sites like old Reddit FFS, it's really annoying to constantly have to view painfully bright sites online. It's a relatively easy option that all sites (that make money) should implement STAT.
- Gigachad 4y agoDark mode is a symptom of a problem caused by people using monitors in dark rooms. Turn your lights on and you won’t need a dark mode anymore. Any surface outside in the sun is orders of magnitude brighter than your monitor and yet it doesn’t hurt to look at.
- kamaal 4y agoI guess it's also about distance. Monitors are right in front of our eyes. I probably wouldn't hurt looking a tree or hill, or anything that is outside because they are at a distance. And of course you aren't going to stare at them for long periods of time. Staring at monitors/screens is different.
- TowerTall 4y agoThere are situations where that is not practical. Personally I live in the jungle in a tropical climate. Dark mode allows me to sit on my balcony with my computer at night. Light mode is like pointing a flashlight towards your face and "millions" of mosquitos arrives. It gets dark around here at 6:30 pm and it is impossible for me to use a computer with a light theme at night. Guess there is no size that fits all.
