I finally figured out how to browse the web with a dark background, without the annoying problems that come from hard-coded colors, one way or another.

• First of all, use Firefox.
• Second, install the extension called No Color
• Give your computer a dark theme (or at least configure input boxes to match a dark theme)
• In Firefox, type about:config and hit enter
• Type color in the filter box
• Change browser.display.background_color to black (or #000000), or whatever color you like
• Change browser.display.foreground_color to something that works with your background color
• You might want to make browser.anchor_color and browser.visited_color match your new theme better
• When you want a dark theme for whatever page, just click the little puzzle-piece in the lower-right corner and it should work; most things should appear normally if you click it again

Anyway, I wanted to post this somewhere where people could see it, but wasn't sure where else, so I figured the chat forum is as good as anywhere.
