I've come to appreciate websites that use the dark theme. Big props to hexedbear for doing it. (hexbear.net)

Used to think it was petite bougie shit for techbros to feel cool but it actually helps with my eye strain I get after prolonged sessions on the puter. Now I wish every site had it, criminal that some don't.

I find it depends on the person and the screens. My eyes strain more with white on dark grey. Ambient light is a must to protect eyesight: sunlight in the day and lamp at night. In my opinion, the dark mode like the one on hexbear is slightly too low contrast with ambient light. To be fully accessible, text needs to have good contrast. My eyes can't handle white on pitch black, but black on white fine (for LED panels). Yes, I'm one of those people who leave everything on light mode. *OLED screens are exceptions, they naturally have very good contrast so either dark or light works.

OLED works with the pure black and white as long as you're using it with other light yeah. Otherwise, white on pure black is a heavier eye strain from what I've read.
