    What's the point of this post? At first I thought that wikipedia had finally gotten a dark theme but this is just a link to one of their info pages.

      Specifically for that reason, Wikipedia does have a dark mode, this is the info page to enable it.

      The simplest approach is to enable the dark mode gadget on the Preferences > Gadgets page: under the "Appearance" section, select the checkbox for "Dark mode toggle". Once checked, dark mode is available to toggle in the Profile Dropdown Box, located in the Upper Right-Hand corner of the page.

    Hi
    I've looked into this idea before...
    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Reading/Dark_mode

    I would be interested in a Wikipedia dark theme for Android Firefox.
    I'm not a registered user.

    Some of my previous posts here have been about dark themes using uBlock Origin "My filters".

    And I thought OK, maybe I could achieve a sexy black homepage...
    but once inside things might go titsup.

    All those images, graphs, charts etc.
    So much to go wrong.

      Note that the Wikipedia Android App does have a dark mode if that works for you.

      You will be likely better suited if you use something like Stylus (and userstyles) for specific websites, or if you want universal dark mode for every website automatically, then Dark Reader. If you really want to make every website have the same color schemes, then Midnight Lizard will be your friend.

        Hi In the wiki post there are options for unregistered users. It suggests the browser addon Dark Mode for Wikipedia (by mrhirsch). It's working OK for me (so far) with Android and Desktop Firefox.

    I just want to throw out a kudos to the android app. It offers way more than just dark mode, including tabs and bookmarks and history.

    As far as design goes it's simple and easy to use but still offers worthwhile features
