brm.usDark Mode Toggles Should be a Browser FeatureWhen implementing Dark Mode and ways to toggle it, developers currently need to duplicate code and roll their own toggle implementation. What if, instead, browsers would take care of all that?

As long as they don’t take the Gmail approach to dark mode and use awful inversion algorithms in a very specific subset of cases that you have little to no control over, I am all for it.

This proposal is NOT about automatically creating dark modes. Instead, this proposal is about exposing a button that lets you override the value for prefers-color-scheme. This this, the dark mode styling remains a responsibility of the website to implement.
