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.

                    Vlad It kind of works? Not really as well as Dark Reader, and since it relies on injecting inline styles, it won't work on sites with strict CSPs, like addy.io.

                    On Hetzner, it makes some elements actually brighter:

                    I believe Dark Reader prevents this by checking the actual rendered hues and adjusting accordingly. Noir for Safari darkens images instead of inverting their colours, which I think is the best approach.
