Absolutely agree. It's the browser's job to respect and maintain my OS-level dark mode. Nothing else will ever be able to stop the dreaded full-screen-white-flash-while-loading. On OLEDS and AR/VR this should bear "epilepsy warning" as these flashes of white screen are pure torture.
- crazygringo 2y agoBut from the article: > But what if users want to override their system preference for a site? Just because a user prefers dark mode for their OS doesn’t always mean they prefer it on a website. That’s why providing a way to manually override dark mode, despite the system settings, is a good idea. And I agree. You want to follow the OS, but be able to override per-site. I like dark mode at night but it strains my eyes to read longform text in it. So I want news sites and Wikipedia only to stay in light mode, and I turn my brightness way down while I'm reading them.
- atmanactive 2y agoYes, sure, I agree, but even then, what is the harm of a BLACK page flashing for a moment while the site is loading? None. In cinema, for example, fade-to-black is ordinary but purely white scenes are extremely rare.
