Nothing to do with the content but the pop up for 'lack of dark mode optimisation' on this website is more annoying than the actual lack of dark mode optimisation

Sorry for that. May I know what annoyed you the most? The old style popup (JS alert) or the presence of the popup?
Thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't expecting a response. As you've mentioned below it is now off which is great. It was just a very jarring, personally I feel its best to allow users to make their own opinions of the experience, I don't find the dark mode experience that bad at all. The text is white and the background is black. Good enough for me!
You seriously have to ask? Pop-up blockers were invented for a reason. Things that jump out and demand your attention are annoying, period.
Thank you for your feedback. I have removed the pop-up for now. No warning about the ugly readability experience in dark mode.
if you really care about it, can already detect it, and show a pop-up, surely it'd also be doable to show a header or something?

as others have said, the pop-up is really the issue here.
