I was wrong about dark mode

They’re calling the new feature Adaptive Dark Mode™. I’m learning that other browsers already had a similar feature. I assumed people relied on add-ons like Dark Reader (and millions do).
Regardless, pushing what is effectively an accessibility option to the forefront goes a long way to help people respect it. My site used to have dark mode but I wasn’t happy with my colour choice and implementation. I redesigned my site back in Feb and removed it.
Later I experimented with colour themes which I’ve since adapted for alternate blog banners. Personally I prefer reading with a dark theme for long-form content. Dark is not my brand though and I don’t believe every website needs to support colour scheme preference automatically.
