Vlad is there a way to test this in iOS / iPad? Dark Reader is particularly buggy on those platforms.

Nevermind, figured it out. Seems to work pretty well so far, but it currently only triggers if I go to Settings->Bookmarks->Favorites->Dark Mode Bookmarklet which is really tedious for testing. I tried triggering the bookmarklet from Favorites on the Start Page or using an invocation, but neither methods work. Is that worth submitting as a feature request? Currently it's very tedious to keep testing out this script on iOS / iPad OS but I'd like to help move this along as best I can.

      Vlad This makes sense, but this workaround has a couple issues that maybe the team could try to resolve as a temporary fix?

      1. The Programmable button doesn't trigger automatically, so relying on using the Programmable button workaround still subjects users to bright flashes of light every time the reload or go to a new web page.
      2. As of now, the Programmable button workaround is not available on iOS / iPad OS. Is there another way to make this easily triggerable for iOS users? Perhaps by making bookmarklets triggerable through gestures, Favorites, invocation, etc.

          Vlad has been working so far. One annoying thing is the top and bottom “bars” of the browser don’t match the background:

              CrunchyFritos Well mostly we need feedback whether our dark mode script works and then we cna implement it natively. Considering is is only 500 bytes I would be surprised if it worked as well.

                  CrunchyFritos please can you guide me on how to "install" this bookmarklet for dark mode in ios?

                      chorizo Add in on your desktop bookmark bar, it will sync to iOS and then use it through bookmark menu in the iOS app. But clunky, but it works.

                        Wouldn't the new page tweaks feature fulfill this request?

                        The only caveat is that it requires per-site configuration with no way to have it enabled by default. However, that is not entirely bad as there are some sites where I wouldn't want automatic dark mode in the first place. I consider the page tweaks implementation quite a good compromise and I'd suggest marking this as Next Release

                          Vlad Does page tweaks work on iOS / iPadOS and can it be set to default to dark mode with a user defined list of exceptions? For example, all sites will be dark mode except the sites where I manually turn it off.

                              @Vlad Does this work for iOS and can it be set to default to always on dark mode? I don’t see how this feature can be marked as done if that isn’t the case.

                                Vlad but you merged in feature requests for iOS such as mine from May: CrunchyFritos

                                Should I open a new feature request and copy my original request back in?

                                Also, is there a way to leave dark mode always on in desktop vs. setting for each site individually? Seems like that’s a prerequisite for a functional dark mode equivalent.
