Do we have a way to force all web pages to go to dark mode system based with Chrome? (lemmy.world)

Since I got a nice extension called Dark Reader for Safari on my Mac I fell in love with that extension, now I can't stand webpages which do not support system based dark mode, and this happens on Android too.

I am using Chrome as my default browser and since it does not support extensions I think it would be hard to achieve this.

Do you know about a workaround for this?

You should use Firefox for Android which has really good support for Dark Reader. It also supports uBlock Origin, so the adblocking is unmatched. You just press addons then press + on Dark Reader. I have the dark mode sync to my system settings.

I use Pixel Launcher does Firefox merge well with the Google Search 'widget'?

If I remember right the google search widget searches within the google app, but then opens link results in your default browser, or in the "in app browser" webview thing (depending on your settings in the google app), so if you set Firefox as your default, and set the google app to use an external browser then it should integrate just fine. And for me, when I have firefox set as my browser it uses firefox for the in app browser when apps are set to use that, so I think it should integrate just fine, even if you just set it as your default browser

Frankly just download the firefox app and try it out, its not like it costs anything to try it, see if you like the dark mode, see if things work the way you want when you set it as your browser, etc.. Past a certain point, no one can tell you your ideal solution- go try some options and see if you can come up with a set up that works for you.
