The problem with dark mode extensions

Hello again! Recently, I installed Peta Sittek's "Dark Mode Everywhere" extension, but couldn't help but notice that all it does is invert everything, not just the backgroud. Allow me to explain what I mean by this:


When you turn this extension on, it runs some code on the site to invert most of the elements, but that first sentence is exactly where the issue lies. Instead of inverting just the background and SVG elements that need to be inverted, it inverts basically everything. Here's an example using Google Classroom:

See how the notebook towards the right and the fact that in the corner is whte instead of black? This seems to be a big flaw with using extensions like this as they all get colors wrong. This is (of course) fixable via 2 solutions

  • The developers of the site add native dark mode support

  • The developers of these extensions change how their extension works


This is of course with no hate to Peta Sittek; I have been using his extension since 2020 and they are really good, I just wanted to point these problems out.


Anyways, that's all! Ralzi out!
