I would love to contribute night mode to HN. It's my least favorite thing about reading the fantastic discussions here. Anyone have ideas on how I can go about doing that?

Whoa, this is helpful.

Used to enjoy using userscripts + greasemonkey until the extension was removed from the chrome browser store. Tampermonkey for firefox fell out of favor over the Dark Reader extension as default but didn't know uBlock Origin can be used this way.

Check this one out to stop youtube embeds from loading until clicked:

||youtube-nocookie.com^$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html

Got this from gorhill, Ublock Origin's developer. He sometimes puts out tips and tricks on his twitter

While not built-in to HN, I've been reading it in dark mode for so long I didn't even realize until your comment. Try the Dark Reader extension. Fantastic at transforming webpages into dark mode most of the time, without making it look like a mess. Open source. Available on Firefox and Chrome.

Bonus points: available in Firefox mobile, too.

Perhaps email dang? He's very responsive and helpful.

I'd love this also, but it's outside of my domain to attempt to pitch in.

Dark theme is left as an exercise for the reader.

Plugins tend to make browsers more unique.

On Android, I've been using Kiwi Browser [0]. It's Chrome but supports extensions from the webstore like desktop chrome, and has a dark mode toggle in the menu that applies custom CSS to webpages. Also has devtools, bottom navigation bar, and a setting to disable tab grouping.

Use Firefox with 'Ublock Origin' and add one of the following to it's 'My Filters' section:

On Android Firefox, "Dark Reader" supports HN.

Firefox Mobile supports plugins. You save a ton of battery life just running UBlock Origin with it

There are a number of HN readers:

* https://hckrnews.com/ -> my favorite thread browser

* https://hackerweb.app/ -> a mobile focused app w/ dark mode
