If the issue is not wanting to spend a bit of effort to implement prefers-color-scheme then light mode is a much better default option.

- earthling8118 3y agoI have astigmatism with the opposite effects. I wish more sites had dark modes. I have to use dark reader to ensure I can have a dark page but that doesn't always work.
