I have a discourse instance running with this option, and it is so nice to my eyes.

I think it would increase community involvement 10x, at least.

There is an easier way.

Enable the following flags(if you are running any chromium-browser)

chrome://flags#enable-force-dark  
chrome://flags#form-controls-dark-mode

These are links, just copy and paste in your address bar.

After that, it will ask to relaunch the browser and done. All websites will be in dark mode now.

Well, I do like that trick, thanks!

Unfortunately, it doesnt work on my iPhone, where I get blinded in the nights.

Some update @pbassham - the designs are done. We’re getting it implemented once the frontend team has resources freed up
