My knee jerk reaction was "Arrrrg, not more darkness on the face of the Earth".

You are not alone. Dark mode is, for me, more eyestrain and gives me a headache.

But being able to switch in the browser based on an OS preference sounds like a great suggestion to me, even though I'd never be affected by it.

Yeah, i'm fine with it, as long as it only affects users who explicitly set their browser to dark mode. The question here is: Is there a standard (RFC, W3C, ...?) or is this just something that a few browser vendors handwaved into existence for their own software? I hate to support vendor-specific extensions: They tend to break on short notice, they might only work on certain operating systems and they are generally a nightmare to support long term.
