Hacker News Reader

Comment by Bayart | Hacker News Reader

Dark Reader is one of an extremely small set of extensions I'm properly incapable of browsing without, along with uBlock Origin and Surfingkeys.

Meanwhile I miss an extension that just lets me define CSS overrides like Qutebrowser. For me those worked much better and more consistently as it doesn't try any clever stuff, it just overwrites some color values in html tags.

I've tried most dark mode extensions for Firefox and Chrome and uninstalled every one after 15 minutes because they all have some common edge cases I don't like.

Try Stylus, it lets you effortlessly write your own overrides or pick published styles from other users.

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ you can download "themes" for many websites, personalize them or just add your CSS styles with complete control

Stylish has been bad for privacy in the past, it is best to switch to a fork of it:

Check out Vimium, if you are a fan of Vim and like using keyboard extensions to make your browsing experience faster.

(Not OP) I've actually found Surfingkeys to be a better vim-like experience than vimium. The utility of the omni-bar in particular is great.

I have no idea how the details compare, but Vimium does provide an omnibar for certain things (ex shift-T for tabs and shift-O for library).

Or, on Firefox, Tridactyl: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Also, Vim Vixen for Firefox.

AFAIK Surfinkeys was developped as a step-up from Vimium and cVim. In any case the specific software you enjoy is unimportant, as long as you can enjoy keyboard-centric browsing.

+1. I'm happy that it's supported in the new Firefox for Android

Can't live without Buster.
