Plenty of people are making me use it. "This site works best in Chrome" and such, just like IE. It's not too bad yet, and I can almost always use Safari, but this is increasingly a problem. Skype web for example.

Yes. It's never perfect, but I use such an extension at work because eye health is important.
I don’t use chrome or extensions anymore for privacy / security reasons, but when I did I had an extension called Dark Reader which converts all colors except photos. It works brilliantly.
What about this website? Is MacRumors going to change its blinding white background for a grey color, Dark mode friendly? If Google webpage can detect when we are using Dark mode, then other websites like MacRumors can do it as well, right?
Google backed off some from all the blowback (not sure what version that change is coming in but certainly seems later than 73 or the world would be up in arms):

Not a bad reason to consider exploring other browsers though, cause what they wanted to do initially was really going to break ad blockers...for (as Ghostery showed) no apparent performance benefit (which was their originally stated reason
).

This is what I'm really excited about. Had the PWA installed for Android Messages, really happy to see that I can get a notification indicator on the icon in the dock.
I see you drank the kool-aid
Your bank knows what you bought if you chose to pay with your credit card, which you can always pay cash.
What Google knows:
Purchase history(google pay)-browsing history-location history-conversations-files+documents stored-email history-shared files-Search history-likes+dislikes on owned services like youtube-comment history-links clicked-ads viewed-devices owned-software on devices owned-when device is used or turned off-voice search history-contacts-the possibility of recording audio+video which you might have agreed to possibly in that multipage terms and agreement contract... and there is more!
Qualifier: I'm a designer who does programming as well. Someday you'll be able to train a program identify aesthetically pleasing color combinations and use that knowledge to shift existing ones depending on shade. Seems like it would be one of the easier problems to tackle with code since it's all dealing with simple numeric values. I think we're going to be replaced within 10-15 years which is why I have been focusing more on the programming side lately. But even that isn't safe. It's going to be tough for anyone to not lose their job to AI in the coming decades. My backstop is painting and carpentry and the hope that some people may still find novelty in human-made art and objects in the far future, lol.

Yeah, I use SASS for everything, so it would be pretty easy to swap and export the inverted sheet. But I was talking more for sites that will drag their feet forever on implementing this (probably even MacRumors knowing how infrequently they update their design). But mostly things that might just show up in a Google search result and I won't ever visit them again. For me, it's more about toning down the transition. I love dark mode because my eyes have always seemed more sensitive to light than others around me.
But yet you use google chrome? privacy / security reasons are the reason you shouldn’t use chrome if you want privacy / security use safari or firefox
F chrome. Total pig.
Try Brave. It is kick ass and way faster. Haven’t even opened chrome since I downloaded Brave.
