Dark mode should be priority IMO. :)

Turn off dark mode in your system settings if you don't want dark mode. It's black-on-white in light mode.

For me, I dislike that it is not in dark mode without some userscript

Sorry! I like the dark theme the way it is, I'm afraid. Have you tried the light one?

Dark mode guideline of the century: don't.

Could you look into your dark mode please? Thank you!:)

No need for dark mode if the canonical design is dark. I wish this was more prevalent.

Sorry to hear that. There's a toggle switch for light mode if that helps.

Let me guess, you use dark themes right?

If you use dark mode everywhere you dont get that light. :)
