Situatie
Many websites have bright white backgrounds which strain eyes, especially at night. Forcing dark mode across all sites improves comfort.
Audience: Everyday web users who want better eye-comfort when browsing.
Summary
You’ll install a browser extension (free) that inverts or modifies webpage colors to dark mode, and enable it for all sites.

Exceptions

You can also toggle the extension off per-site.

-
Night mode scheduling
-
In the extension settings, set a schedule (e.g., enable dark only after 19:00) if you prefer light mode during the day.

Troubleshooting & notes

Some websites with custom styling may still look odd; use the exception list.
