Minimal dark mode for HN that honors OS settings?


I know this has been asked for/about for a long time/multiple times, but since HN still doesn't have a dark mode, what do you use to make it bearable to read in dark environments?

I use uBlock Origin to set a dark mode that I like but would probably make other peoples eyes bleed.

Addons -> uBlock Origin -> Preferences -> My Filters
