I'm dark mode everything, everywhere, but options are good and taking away options is bad. If people want to sear their retinas by using light mode, they should be able to.
I use light mode because dark mode is far more likely to trigger migraines in me. This is legit an accessibility issue, and he fired the entire accessibility team.
@stopthatgirl7 I also often use light mode on most websites. Since 2 years or so I started using dark mode on several applications or websites as well, but most dark modes suck. Some give me headache or burn my eyes.
Taking the option is really an accessibility issue. Elon tries every trick under the sun to destroy the platform, in ways I could not imagine or forgot. I'm sure there will pop up addons for browsers at least to change the style. Everyone else, good luck.
Try the "Dark Reader" plugin (works for all chromium-based browsers and Firefox - at least). It lets you customise the "darkness" of the dark mode to your hearts content. I have most of my sites set up so that they're more "very dark grey" rather than black.
Doesn't always work nicely, some sites get their images mangled, or the text will get a weird shade that makes it illegible, but overall, it's great. And you probably can fix most of these issues by tweaking the filter settings.
Can it be used to make everything light mode?
Yes, you can set the theme for all websites to Light in the add-on's settings.
