Are there any privacy-respecting dark mode add-ons for Firefox that you would recommend? I've read online that Dark Reader isn't great for privacy.

I haven't written any code yet. Just a concept I was playing with. I mean if u wanted a proof of concept then u could probably do it in js with a browser extension and some python code in a docker image.

U use playwrite to send the Dom over a web socket (keeping the content in sync with decent performance might not be the easiest task) and the extension just passes keyboard and mouse back. Then u just put the virtual browser in docker container.

I wrote and run the bot for [email protected] and if u go have a look at its source u can see that its pretty easy to have a virtual browser controlled with playwrite.

This would be quite a bit of a shit experience and would probably break extension like ublock that rely on filtering what pages u can access but it would work as a proof of concept.
