Don't even think of switching on the dark (night) mode with that attitude! :D

I really enjoyed the tongue in cheek design. I think every modern browser either allows you to turn on reader mode (especially on mobile) or just turn off CSS. This particular article works excellently even in w3m.

Fine, sure. Cute - turn on reader mode. Now the images that are supposed to be sitting over yellow background are dark gray images over a slightly less dark gray background.

The decision to design a serious (read: not-tongue-in-cheek) topic with these "quirky" tricks sucks, JMHO.

Firefox Focus on mobile does not have Reader Mode.

Fair enough. Tbh at a different time I would probably be as pissed at the author as anyone. Might be mood dependent.

I should also add that the night mode won't be as fun on mobile either, just checked and I don't think it works with pointer events for the effect
