As someone who enjoys and prefers high-density of information, I generally agree.
I do, however, wish HN would add support for @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark). By now it's one of the few sites that are still unpleasantly bright to look at when in a dark environment. (When I don't forget, I visit https://darkhn.herokuapp.com/ instead, which helps but can't be used to upvote/comment.)

Some websites it just doesn't work for and you need to disable it, but it's otherwise great. It also auto-detects (most of the time) when a site supports dark mode and shuts itself off for that site.
