You can have Dark Mode on every website by putting this url in your Edge browser (and clicking "enabled" for the first option)-
edge://flags/#enable-force-dark

And by putting this url in your Chrome browser (and click "enabled" for the first option)-
chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

God make it stop.

I gotta tone down my screens brightness to make it tolerable. Some of us got super sensitive eyes in our old age.

I thought I was going crazy. For this first time in 26 years this site was showing dark mode in between random refreshes. Glad I'm not the only one.

Not seeing in with Safari. Or chrome.

Only dark mode for me. It's pretty gross. Please give the option to choose which one we want
life is short. make sure you spend as much time as possible arguing with strangers on the internet

They're missing some of the menus, like the Notifications bar etc...but they've changed the font colour so things aren't readable.

This is something a lot of people have requested for a long time, so we wanted to make it happen. It is currently based on your system settings but we'll add the ability to select within RealGM ASAP.
