darkreader VS Reddit-Enhancement-Suite

Instead of writing this shortsighted article, just do like those of us who are forced to endure light mode, and install [Dark Reader](https://darkreader.org) (that also does light mode).

I prefer sites not to implement a custom dark mode and instead to make sure their styles invert well, less work for devs, more consistency for me.

By far my favorite extension is Dark Reader - no need to rely on every website to implement a dark mode

https://darkreader.org/

change to light mode, and try out https://darkreader.org/

I was able to reproduce and reported this to Dark Reader https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/11952

I highly recommend utilizing a dark reader.

I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that's unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. the police).

If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes.

i use https://darkreader.org/ for chrome and don't see flies 99% of the time

> you don't need any keys for trust, you can imagine a centralized system ...

I guess part of the essence of what I was trying to describe was that it's non-centralized. Otherwise, you have to trust some entity to unilaterally behave well, now and forever. But fair point; something like this could be implemented in someone else's walled garden. I wouldn't trust it though :p

Since you mentioned JS overlays... One thing that is somewhat similar is using RES[1] on reddit. When you upvote/downvote a person's post, it keeps track of a total +/- count for each username, and displays it next to it in the UI. This isn't quite trust, but it is a kind of "my opinion of this user, gathered over time" overlay... There's also no notion of sharing this info with others.

Reddit Enhancement Suite for Old Reddit on desktop. I dunno about mobile though since Apollo died

This makes sharing links easier.

Reddit Enhancement Suite

Have you tried old reddit with the RES extension? I'm not a fan of the way comments appear without the extension, but the extension boosts readability significantly. I can't stand reddit's design without it.

Not a setting but RES plus old reddit is fantastic.

It's a giant step backwards in site design. Discuit wastes an incredible amount of screen space in making the site look pretty. Scroll down a bit and you'll see that more than half of your screen is empty and there is very little submissions displayed. Look at https://old.reddit.com/ and see the difference between the two. (Or add Reddit Enhancement Suite https://redditenhancementsuite.com/ for an even better experience), Old Reddit is vastly better. People are not using Discuit, likely as a result of the site design.

Use RES and filter by keyword.
