I tried various of dark mode plugins in Firefox and none of them seem to be able to do their job without obvious shortcomings. For example most of them don't check the original color of the website and just invert colors of dark pages as well. Or in some cases it doesn't invert all text colors, making hyperlinks hard to read.

None of the extensions I've tested can match the dead simple CSS override I used in qutebrowser.

Have you tried Dark Reader, I'm pretty happy with it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/darkreader/

I just started using Dark Reader yesterday, and for the most part, it's excellent.

old.reddit.com comments are mostly unreadable, and it cripples gmail, but I've learned to take advantage of Options-Shift-D to flip it on and off when needed.

It's now part of my web browsing workflow.

It's also supported by current Firefox Preview on Android. Works well.
