not sure if this is the correct place to ask for new features (please point me to other places otherwise).
I would like to see a Night-Mode in the browser that makes reading websites in dark environments easier on the eyes. Most pages contain black (dark) text on white (light) background. The latter tends to blind you at night.
An easy implementation could be to invert background and text colors (i.e. their RGB values) if a website's background color brightness is above a certain value. Imagas can remain untouched.
a request just like yours has shown up in the past (back then it was to invert colors to save power on AMOLED screens. I tried doing it in javascript, but unfortunately, results were not consistent enough to make it a feature. Without iterating over every style on the page and determining if the color should be flipped, it didn't work well at all. Modern websites unfortunately (or not) use lots of different styles for text, and it is almost impossible to automatically determine which ones need changing to make text readable. Sorry, Michael

I tried them a while ago and they seemed to work reasonably well. Don't know if they rely on some FF-specific infrastructure, but otherwise they should provide an excellent starting point for such a feature.
