    Native dark modes are better and have much less of a performance impact. It’s good as a stop gap though.

      Agreed. Well, I don’t know if it’d deal with random images as well, as users can upload those.

      and have much less of a performance impact.

      For a number of sites, you can just get away with running Dark Reader in static mode and it works well enough. Considerably faster.

      Maybe. Does it make a big performance difference which css (dark reader or delivered by wiki) is used?

      Is it known how the default to dark mode setting is persisted if let’s say a plugin removed all the Wikipedia cookies on window close? A get or post parameter?

      Either way it’s a good thing that wiki offers a dark mode.
