Do we have a way to force all web pages to go to dark mode system based with Chrome? (lemmy.world)

Since I got a nice extension called Dark Reader for Safari on my Mac I fell in love with that extension, now I can't stand webpages which do not support system based dark mode, and this happens on Android too.

I am using Chrome as my default browser and since it does not support extensions I think it would be hard to achieve this.

Do you know about a workaround for this?

It works with flags, just like on desktop. Go to chrome://flags in your address bar and search for "dark". You'll find "Auto dark mode...". Enable it, restart chrome. Done.

But this will force them to go black regardless if the website does not support it?

Also I wouldn't want it to be dark all the time, only when my system is set in dark mode.

Yes, this forces all websites into dark mode, regardless of whether they support it. Based on your title, I assumed that's what you wanted.

Very few websites have already extended their stylesheets for dark mode. If you want more control, I would also recommend a browser that supports extensions (I use Firefox).

Yeah, that is what I want, but I was thinking this would trigger dark web pages even when my phone is set at light mode, It seems that this is not the case, pretty much this solution is perfect for me right now.

I still will consider FF, especially if I find a way to keep it synced with Safari.
