It's definitely simpler to not have a toggle, but I like having the choice. Some websites I frequent often have a dark mode I don't like much, so I switch to light - and vice-versa.

Just because a user generally prefers dark mode, doesn't mean they do everywhere!

I think a per-site override switch should also belong to the browser.

Oh I definitely agree there! I don't know if any implement that at the moment though :(

On the contrary, this feature has existed for decades. It’s called user-selectable alternative stylesheets: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative.... But because no one used it, the feature has not been better positioned in more recent browser UI redesigns, so it’s close to inaccessible in most browsers now. No idea if Chrome and related browsers expose it at all, or even if they’ve ripped the functionality out altogether somewhere along the way.

You can use extensions like Dark Reader
