This should be a browser option, not a website option.

If your browser tells the website you want a dark version, you’re getting a dark version. Seems right, doesn’t it?

What if I want only HN to be dark? Can I configure it per site yet?

I have no issues with 3 options:

- Use browser

- Light

- Dark

Though. I think it’s too much configuration though.

I feel like this should be a browser feature: toggle light / darkmode for a given site. Maybe you dont agree with their interpretation of darkmode...

I agree. I think the default behaviour is good. prefers-color-scheme: dark should be the default, but be changeable browser wide (not sure if this is already the case) or per domain - just as it works with webcam access (storing the permission to view webcam for a given domain).

I get it, but at the end of the day it's up to a site owner, surely? Much like we get to choose our site design, we also get to choose whether it's dark or light. It has always been this way.

The CSS property is a good indicator that you prefer a dark color scheme. In my case by turning this on I want an all dark UI on everything I use - all the time. Do we really need to force toggles on every website we build now for a small number of users who want a dark browser UI, but light websites? I'd prefer to go with the assumption that they want the design dark too.

I agree. Browser-builders should provide a way to configure the wants-dark-mode css query.
