I hate high contrast light text on dark background. It remains printed in my eyes for some time even after reading just a couple of lines.

Now that I think about it I'm not sure if I've always been this way; for example I loved monokai theme since its release, for years I refused to color code with anything else. Nowadays my editor is dark gray on warm almost-white, no colors, only bold to highlight some keywords.

That said, I don't think websites should have different styles to please everyone. I respect the designer (is web design still a thing in the material world?) choices but the developer should code the page separating style and content. Let me turn off css or use reader mode without compromising content.

Quick solutions I've used when clicking the back button was not an option: some !important css on the browser console, print pdf, reader mode, outline, Vivaldi has a negative mode switch that's particularly useful on mobile, last resort copy the text and paste it somewhere else..
