Yeah their actual point is about contrast ratio, which makes the headline a bit disingenuous.

Ironically they end by saying they'll use an invert filter as a workaround, while for those who prefer dark mode if doing the same on the author's own stark white bg/black text site (such as Vivaldi's 'Invert Mode') will produce the very contrast ratio in dark they're complaining about :p






Yeah - and an invert filter messes up photos. Again, like the author has on their blog.

If you wanna argue that we shouldn't force dark mode, maybe don't go around forcing light mode. My eyes hurt.


Then un-mess them up :)

  html {
    filter: invert(1);
  }

  img {
    filter: invert(1);
  }
Bookmarklet edition:

    javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement("style");s.innerText="html{filter: invert(1);}img{filter: invert(1);}";document.head.append(s)})()
(doesn't and can't fix CSS "background-image" but you'll live)
