A dark theme for hacker news, implemented using uBlock origin filters. Originally inspired by this user’s filter. For this, I’ve used tailwind colors, altered some font weights and most colors. Also enhances visited link colors on main page, darkening ones I’ve visited (You can remove that line if you don’t want that).
What it looks like
Installing
To use this, install ublock origin, and paste the snippet below into the “My Filters” Section of the extension settings
