Dark reader for palemoon?

Unread post by roavaldamjong » 2021-06-03, 23:02

Hello all! ^_^
I was wondering if there was any support for dark reader or another add-on like it? dark reader
I know theres autopagecolor, but that one does not change the pages to entirely white text on black background. I'd love to see any palemoon alternatives since I'm pretty sure there's no way to put modern firefox extensions onto palemoon, only legacy ones. Thanks! ^_^

Autopagecolor simply tells websites that offer light/dark color themes which theme to use based on your local time of day - it will have no effects on sites that don't support color themes since it does not modify web pages.

You don't need an extension for that. Just set the dark option in your preferences!

JustOff's Advanced Night Mode, a fork of a Firefox extension, exists. There is zero automation since he didn't give a crap about implementing it when I suggested it, so you will have to manually toggle it for the entire browser, or set exceptions for individual sites. By its nature since it directly applies custom CSS to websites, some of them may not display properly so you'll have to tweak their settings.

That's great! thanks so much! :) I did that, but still am trying to put advanced dark mode on to get the archaic pages without dark modes innate to them haha

I am a super technology noob. the only addon ive put on my browser through github was goodtwitter2, and that was through greasemonkey! and i looked it up and only got threads of extensions through github without any explanation as to how to install them, so, how do i get an add-on installed through github? I'm not seeing any .xpi files like i used to install UBO
