Vlad no it doesnt invert it, it gives the site an even better dark mode by darkening even the dropdown sections which would probably be in greyish black. I use chrome and no dark mode extension, i just force dark content in chrome flags and it works wonders! Much much better than probably any extension i have used so far. Also, theres a safari extension called nightshift, which is probably the closest extension to chromium browsers' force dark content feature, so you can take a look at that extenion. Nightshift works and darkens the sites similar to how chromes built in dark mode does, only sometimes when i havent loaded a new url for a long time on safari, a white screen flashes when i load a new url( the extension maybe just goes into a standby mode and then when i reload or load a new website, it takes a millisecond to activate) and then it again works perfectly like chromes built in dark mode. So you can refer to "Nightshift", a very cool and free extension.

      Note that all dark mode extensions such as dark reader inject over 4MB of javascript to page to work, on every single page. this is because dark mode is not easy to get right.

      If you guys can find a dark mode script that is <few KB we would consider implementing it natively.

        Is there any opportunity to support Noir? I'm not sure what their approach entails but they're the best dark mode I've been able to find, it'd be great if Orion supported it.

          Can you add a native dark mode in browser? It is the only feature that it is missing in this fantastic browser.
          I use IOS version

              Many website support dark mode but we need extra extension for those which dosen't support. If we have in built dark mode which take care of performance as well as beautiful dark UI then it will help many of us who really like dark UI on every websie.

                i was just about to post about this! Yea, currently im using the extension dark reader because even with orion preferences set to dark mode, not all websites get dark mode, thats why i got the extension, however the extension is not exactly light weight and having it built in would have been more convenient

                    The dark mode script that's available via the Programmable button seems to work well enough and is very fast. Maybe that could be added to Website Settings? Seems to me that all the necessary functionality exists in Orion, just needs to be combined.

                      Xyth It is fast and small but not comprehensive. This is why we open sourced it and made avaialble through Programmable buttons but I do not think we would advertise this as a Orion-level standard of quality to be included in the default menu.
