Browsers with Universal Dark Mode support

Universal Dark Mode (UDM)

If a browser supports UDM, all websites will open in dark mode within the browser, even if the websites don't themselves have a dark mode.

At the moment, if you use Chrome, it will only render pages in dark mode if a particular website offers it. Otherwise, those websites will be in light mode in Chrome even if your System is using Dark mode.

If you use chrome://flags to enable Force Dark mode, it will override system theme (within the browser). So when the System is using Light Theme, the browser will continue rendering all websites in Dark mode, something not preferred.

Some interesting browsers that I have found which supports UDM:

1.Samsung Internet

2.Brave Browser

3.Via Browser

4.FOSS Browser. Can be downloaded fromf-droid too.

5.EinkBro

6.Pluma Browser

Browsers that DON'T currently support UDM:

1. Google Chrome

2. Microsoft Edge

3. Vivaldi

4. Firefox (including Firefox Focus)

5. Bromite Browser

6. DuckDuckGo Browser

7. Opera Browser

After your previous post about Browser, I checked Brave... And it had all Dark mode feature...

Yeah. I mentioned that in that post too. It doesn't have a default incognito mode, and is many times bigger than Via Browser in size, and also memory/ battery use.

Via Browser is just too impressive.
