YES, Dark Mode Toggles _should_ be a browser feature. I wrote about this before: brm.us/dark-mode-ov... Find the link to the Chrome Bug in the post, and hit the star next to it to "upvote" the bug. (I even have a prototype extension to provide this for you: brm.us/chrome-dark-...) #cssday

brm.usDark Mode Toggles Should be a Browser FeatureWhen implementing Dark Mode and ways to toggle it, developers currently need to duplicate code and roll their own toggle implementation. What if, instead, browsers would take care of all that?

Not just that - I believe that dark mode itself should be a universal browser feature. Extensions like darkreader.org have been doing it for ages. If ppl want to customize the dark experience, they still can, but most won't need to. Even less code duplication. As of 2026 only some browsers do it.

It’s unfortunately impossible to generalize an inversion of color well, way too many variables at play (not to mention “feel”). Whilst some extensions certainly make an attempt, from my anecdotal experience, most folks see them as worse than just dealing with light mode.
