Little rant: My eyes hurt from reading 100% white on 100% black background… Wish sites stopped doing it. Thank god Firefox has this builtin reader view functionality.
I love the high contrast, especially on cheaper displays. Maybe it helps to lower the screen brightness?
Changing brightness back and forth just for the site isn’t something I would do. But besides that, I don’t think it works (tested for 5 seconds). The better approach is changing the coloring of the site, and I can do that with Firefox itself or one of the available extensions. But the fact that I have to do this is in my opinion a broken styling on the site. And I mean its broken for me, not an universal take here. Everyone is different, and if you like it, then well you like it and that’s totally fine.
BTW having a white background and black font color has the same contrast, and it doesn’t hurt my eyes. So its not just the contrast that makes my eyes bleed. For short text, it’s not really an issue, but for longer ones.
Oh, I’ve misread your original post. The page had a white background with black text for me, and that looked ok. But a complete black background and white text really isn’t optimal.

I love white text on black background, it’s so odd how different people view this.
Yeah, this thread is kinda wild to someone reading it all as white text on black background without any strain.
