CSS is so premium lol
Firefox with the extension “Dark Reader” is great. There are some websites I have to disable it, but it’s rare. I also recommend uBlock Origin.
Edit: I see someone already recommended dark reader. But it really is a must have extension. It knows if your system theme is set to light or dark and matches it automatically.
Dextero is pretty trash in general so I’m not surprised in the slightest. So much bot content on there
Not a regular visitor, so can’t say anything about there content.There was a discussion in the piracy community about the article, so went there to read it: https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/godzilla-minus-one-most-pirated-movie-2696285/
Sorry I didn’t mean any negatively towards you there. I just remember what the site was like before it hit my blocklist. It was before chatgpt got big but everything I read on there was scraped info from other sites and full of errors
Sorry I didn’t mean any negatively towards you there.
I took your previous comment to be a critic of Dexerto.Not towards me. No apologies needed.
Thanks for warning me about there quality, its now on my blocklist too.
No prob…I avoid RockPaperShotgun, too, because 90% of their articles are thinly-veiled ads
Lots of websites do this the other way around, too. It’s very annoying.
What, you have to enable dark mode to sign up?
No lol just you need to sign up to enable light mode
or… just use darkreader :D
Dark reader is great. It can also be used to prevent fingerprinting based on your preference, as most are configured to light mode by default.
However it often makes the site nearly or completely unusable, as it isn’t (and can’t) always be 100% correct. Having dark mode configured by the site is often much more useful.
DR itself is clearly fingerprintable, more so than a dark preference.
somehow, the “dark reader clone” that’s in samsung browser it’s so much accurate. Main disadvantage is that you have to use samsung browser (ugh)…
Seconding. Can’t imagine not using darkreader in this day and age.
Yup yup. Darkreader has improved my entire internet experience, which is a huge accomplishment. Works flawlessly 99% of the time.
or… just lower your monitor brightness so you don’t feel like you need dark mode, which is actually worse in every way than just using the correct monitor brightness.
With everybody using black pixels, they’re becoming more expensive as they rarefy worldwide. This kind of thing was to be expected, really.
I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here…
they probably require an account because they have a system set up in a way where it’s mostly a server-side app and ui settings are only stored on the server;
and they need to differentiate users somehow…?
like i know a lot of websites where the dark mode is a per-profile setting rather than per device (including great open source and otherwise lightweight non-enshittified projects, like principia-web etc)Doesn’t modern CSS allow you to follow system settings?
yep it does
I just want them to follow system default for guest user(s).
they probably require an account because they have a system set up in a way where it’s mostly a server-side app and ui settings are only stored on the server
This makes more sense for signed in user(s).
No dark mode unless you register an account is what I consider asshole design choice.
maybe they have a whole different page for signed in users?
Ok, made an account(used a temp email). Nothing exquisite, just being able to switch between light and dark mode. I expected an option to set the toggle to follow device default after making an account and signing in.
Doesn’t even remember which mode was toggled during the previous sign in.
making it a per-profile settings does not exclude making it available per-device or per-visit. it’s not especially difficult to store a flag in localStorage or a cookie. hell, you can even use CSS to detect OS dark mode preference settings and have it change automatically with no user input at all.
I’ve seen this in many places. I don’t remember them because I stop caring when I notice the cut of their jib.
they won’t even turn off the ads if you pay them. what a joke
edit: oops i just saw that these are the “free benefits”
same with news.google.com
Arstechnica does this crap too.
Ars dark mode switching is infuriating.
