some digging around I found Stylish [1] chrome extension which allows you to select dark modes (and others) for many common websites. Unfortunately many of the dark themes are really just dark grey, whereas I really prefer a deep inky black. My pixel xl has an amoled display which makes night modes look stunning because the pixels actually turn off with true black.

I used this app [2] to read hacker news and im delighted to find they have a web interface as well which has a dark mode

A while back I roughed up a dark theme for HN via a greasemonkey userscript, as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/PkwVEOD.png There are obviously some rough edges—no pun intended—such as around the voting buttons.

Dark themes really are just way easier on the eyes. Combining the Windows 10 dark theme, the black theme in Office 2016, Firefox Developer Edition, plus a bunch of dark themes for web sites yields a pretty good overall experience.
