I am using "Darker" for safari, and it works well. I see "Dark Night" and "HN Dark Mode" on other devices here. But I don't tinker with something that works well.

"Dark Reader" for Firefox. I'm reading HN in dark right now.

I don't know. I don't want to, so long as I have HN Enhancement Suite. It works befitting to the shortcomings of HN design.

Why should every web site accommodate that? Tell your browser vendor to act upon your system settings and display web sites accordingly.
