+Some like it light, others dark. Yet others, like me, [prefer it dark, but need it light to read](https://kiko.io/post/Don-t-be-ignorant-and-offer-a-theme-switch/) ... we're talking about websites, color schemes and the impossibility of pleasing everyone. 
+
+While, [Sara](https://front-end.social/@sarajw) recently gave [on CSS-Tricks](https://css-tricks.com/come-to-the-light-dark-side/) a really good insight into how any blog owner can quickly and easily implement color theme switching, people need to see the necessity and implement it. Unfortunately, you can't expect that. 
+
+But [Bramus](https://front-end.social/@bramus) comes to the rescue, at least for the desktop, with his new extension **[Chrome Dark Mode Toggle](https://www.bram.us/2024/10/30/chrome-dark-mode-toggle-v1-1/)**, which anticipates what Google wants to build into the browser directly at some point: the user decides centrally in the browser how they want it, light or dark.
+
+> This extension allows you to override the value of `prefers-color-scheme` on a per-origin basis. That way, if a site uses `prefers-color-scheme` in their stylesheet, you can keep your OS in Light Mode while watching a site in Dark Mode (or vice versa).

+
+The thing works great, even if it only gets me a little further personally, since I spend 80% of my reading time on my smartphone and ... no extensions are supported in Chrome for Android :|
