I’m seeing a concerning trend of webpages that are designed for dark mode only. They present light-text-on-a-dark-background all the time. There is no light mode. No respecting the user’s preference.

I literally cannot read white text on dark backgrounds. At least not more than a few words worth. It’s weird to slowly have more and more of the web become unusable to me.

Do better.

It’s super easy to provide both. We should all provide both.

I agree, but, since most of pages still don't offer alternate text or most of other accesibility features, I'm not optimistic.

Vivaldi (sorry) has a feature that allows the user to invert all colors in a page (it seems to apply a filter:invert to the whole page).

It is hackish, but it can be really helpful when Read Mode is not an option.

It should be really easy to emulate in a bookmarlet or extension.
