I use the Dark Reader extension for Firefox; HN looks fine under that.

Having to separately configure individual sites or web apps for dark mode is a nonstarter anyway; if you could do that, would you really want to?

Ideally, you should be able to set your device to dark mode, and everything would follow: every app, every site in the browser.

Some combination of setting your OS to dark mode and using a dark mode extension in the browser sort of approximates that, imperfectly.

No need to set it per individual page. There are (arguably easy to use) ways for a web page to know the user's OS-level color scheme preference [0].

We still need the workaround via extensions or Userstyles for the ones that don't implement that, sadly.
