Is there any known browser extension that can force websites into dark mode? (lemmy.eco.br)

Dark Reader is the best extention for this, pretty sure it's open sourced too!

I used dark reader about a month ago again to see if it worked better

Still failed on too many websites (drop-down and other nested menus appear to be a big issue) and it massively slowed down a lot of sites

Imma try that alternative and see how much better that rolls

Haha they even choose the Firefox page... One that dark reader doesn't seem to correctly render in dark mode... I wonder why :/.

I have seen more breakage recently with Dark Reader mode, so I will give this a try :) thank you.

Edit: Ohh.. It hasn't been updated for 4 years.... Will pass :/

Try this search: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=dark&type=extension

Usually addons will transform each page with a custom CSS to make it dark mode. If you are talking about the native dark mode of each website, then I don't think there is a simple answer to this. Because each website is solving this differently. So we rely on custom CSS to force parts of the website styling in a temporary manner, each time it is opened up.

Dark Mode for Firefox is decent.

It did break the Dropbox website for me though. Had to disable the extension to get the website to work.

There's also Midnight Lizard. It's more powerful, but more resource intensive so I wouldn't recommend on phones or older systems.
