native dark mode for websites

Hi, can anyone tell me if Firefox for Android (in my case: Fennec) will get a native dark mode for websites in the future? I know there are addons that do this, but unfortunately they make browsing much slower.

Thanks, Horst

Hi

Yes, this is a feature of Firefox for Android. By selecting the dark theme, websites that respect it will also be dark themed.

Yes that's right. But there are apparently very few sites where this is so. If I use a chromium based browser, it works for EVERY website (ironically it's like this for support.firefox.org: with Fennec it appears in day mode, with Bromite in night mode).

Yes that is correct. Support.mozilla.org does not support theming using Firefox for Android at the present time.

And many others as well. support.firefox.org was just one example.

Do you have any non-Mozilla examples?
