At this moment, I think that the Dark Reader plugin works best because it has been around long enough to collect support for lots of edge cases identified by user feedback. I am not comfortable with giving a plugin that much access. Having built-in support in Orion feels safer and more contained.

As to how dark modes should work, I think that the best tools look at the applied/rendered background colors and figure out if they exist within a range of "dark" or "light" hues. Then, use that determination to decide if it should invert or not. It's certainly not an exact science. However, more and more sites are providing dark modes and using detection of OS settings to determine what to do. This feature could perhaps detect if the site is doing that as well and then react accordingly.

I confess that I've never used the native Handoff. That's probably a perfectly good solution that just didn't occur to me.

It's a feature in Chromium (and therefore in Brave). Look at chrome://flags and search for Dark Mode.

I never heard of this Notes feature. What is it used for?

I know there are several options for forcing dark mode on various sites such as userContent.css in Firefox and the Dark Reader extension. However, some browsers such as Brave and Bromite have a built-in version of this feature.

It would be great for Orion to have this built-in "dark mode" for any site so that we can be sure extensions aren't spying on us or doing other nefarious things with our data since they require expanded access to work.

It's great to be able to see and open the tabs that are in Orion on other devices. I'd like to be able to send a tab from the device I'm currently on to another device with which I'm syncing.

Specifically, I sometimes open a tab on my work machine. Then, I realize it's something I'd rather read or do on my personal machine. I'd like to send this tab to that machine. It could be waiting for me when I open Orion on my person machine.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Visit https://somafm.com/suburbsofgoa/index.html and click the Listen Now button. A new tab opens but no audio plays. Even when clicking the play button, no audio is heard.
2) Add a whitelist for the URL to "Allow all auto-play" and still no audio is heard.
3) Turn on compatibility mode for the URL and still no audio is heard.

Expected behavior:
1) The audio should start auto-playing if the setting is on for this URL or all URLs.
2) The audio should start playing if the play button is pressed regardless of auto-play settings.
