For the fellow parents, some fun context: My toddler is asleep on me, and this light is blinding.

Dark Reader extension for Chrome.

On Android, Vivaldi supports dark more out of the box. It's actually just a toggle for the dark mode present on any chromium-based browser, and you can enable it globally in any of them in chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

Dark Reader, often recommended, is very slow, especially on old hardware. This built-in mode is much more efficient and works well on vast majority of pages.

So do Chrome and Brave.

Use it with Stylus

The suggestion has been brought up and dang has commented on it over the years. He doesn't seem opposed to it per se. It's possible your descendants may live to see dark-mode HN:

If you're on one of the betas for about-to-be-released apple OS’s, there's a new describe an extension functionality and building a dark mode for HN is exactly what I just used it to do. Super easy, and synced across all my devices.

I know this sounds like an ad, but I was pretty impressed with it

Great idea! I tried this just after reading your comment, 20s later I had a working extension that does exactly this for HN.

Thank you!

This is the Chrome Extension that I use, I love it because it has a Safari version that you can use on your iPhone:

I use the "Comments Owl for Hacker News" Firefox extension - https://soitis.dev/comments-owl-for-hacker-news

It has a "Dark Mode" under options, plus it allows you to revisit a thread later and know which comments are new.
