I use this extension: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

It offers dark mode and many useful quality-of-life UI tweaks.

I'm not understanding how to apply the dark mode using this extension. I see that it has it in the "Custom CSS" field, but what then needs to be done to apply the CSS? This is probably really obvious to most of the userbase, but I'm pretty inept when it comes to anything pertaining to web design.

Also, the text in the extension is nigh unreadable. I have to highlight it all to get enough contrast to make it visible. This is on Firefox, anyone else have this issue?

I have that same problem. I think hitting the "dark mode" CSS preset (which pastes the CSS, unreadable of course, into the edit box) and then pressing Enter actually let the style stick. I also had to refresh my HN pages for that particular change to take effect.

It looks like there might be a bug or two that is getting ironed out. The many eyes are working!

Hi! I'm the developer of the extension.

The Firefox version needs a lot of work in the popup's CSS to make it visible. FF made some internal changes and ever since then it has stopped displaying text properly.

I'll get onto it soon.

RHN's dev here - just saw this. Thanks :)

Ah, I did not know about this extension. Thanks for sharing!
