I am using Stylus and this theme:

    body {
        background-color: #262626 !important;
    }

    body > center > table, input, textarea {
        background-color: #222 !important;
    }

    body > center > table > tbody > tr:first-child > td {
        background-color: #ff6600 !important;
    }

    /* Bright text */
    td.title a:link, span.comment font, span.comment font a:link, u a:link, span.yclinks a:link, body:not([id]),
    td:nth-child(2):not(.subtext) > a:link, input, textarea, p > a, a > u, .c00, .c00 a:link,
    a[href="http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"], a[href="https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/"] {
        color: #ccc !important;
    }

    .admin td {
        color: #aaa !important;
    }

    /* search box and comment box */
    input, textarea {
        border: 1px solid #828282 !important;
    }

On Android, Vivaldi supports dark more out of the box. It's actually just a toggle for the dark mode present on any chromium-based browser, and you can enable it globally in any of them in chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

Dark Reader, often recommended, is very slow, especially on old hardware. This built-in mode is much more efficient and works well on vast majority of pages.

Dark Reader's slowness primarily stems from its auto-detection of pages that need darkening. If you turn that off and manually enable it on pages that need it, it doesn't feel any slower than anything else

That flag doesn't seem to work for me in android chrome or brave, when enabled HN is still very much light mode

So do Chrome and Brave.

I used "Override colors" under Settings -> Accessibility to set nice dark colors.

Then I used userChrome.js from https://github.com/AlexVallat/firefox-scripts/ to add a button which toggles the browser preferences "browser.display.use_system_colors" and "browser.display.document_color_use", so I can still access bright mode if needed.

On Safari I use https://getnoir.app/.

Firefox desktop and mobile let you install addons like https://darkreader.org/ which work great.

I use the "Comments Owl for Hacker News" Firefox extension - https://soitis.dev/comments-owl-for-hacker-news

It has a "Dark Mode" under options, plus it allows you to revisit a thread later and know which comments are new.

iOS accessibility shortcut: 3 taps on sleep button inverts the colors of any website, if you set it up.

This is the Chrome Extension that I use, I love it because it has a Safari version that you can use on your iPhone:

The suggestion has been brought up and dang has commented on it over the years. He doesn't seem opposed to it per se. It's possible your descendants may live to see dark-mode HN:
