Why doesn't HN support reading mode in Firefox, anyway?

Dimming doesn't solve much.

I won't dim screen every time I switch apps. It doesn't work when you use multiple apps side-by-side (which is nowadays a thing even on mobile/tables). It doesn't bring relief to people that have visual problems that can be fixed with dark mode (I am super annoyed by floaters that I don't notice 95% of the time. Except from very bright websites like HN).

Same thing for me and my vision - I just can't use pure dark themes. But there is so much middle-ground here.
