Add meta tag to disable "dark reader" by default

felkr

Dark reader is a browser extension to enable dark mode for websites that don't support it by injecting a custom stylesheet. Websites that already support dark mode out of the box (i.e Kagi) should add a meta tag to disable dark reader by default, so it doesn't kick in by default. Pretty sure it's <meta name="darkreader-lock">

Dark Reader doesn't rule the World Wide Web. Dark mode enabled web sites use the "prefers-color-scheme" media query and Dark Reader should respect that.

Hm, true. The meta tag might not be the right solution. But dark reader normally respects the prefers-color-scheme media query, and it doesn't for Kagi for some reason. I don't suspect a bug in dark reader, as it seems to work for other websites

felkr Perhaps you can ask dark reader developers? Until then you can probably add kagi.com to exclude list in dark reader?

Vlad Dark Reader now supports auto dark mode detection (and has for a while), so this isn't really an issue anymore (for Kagi at least)

Grooty Thanks for reporting this!
