Is there a "manage colors" for mobile, or something similar?

Is there a way to force "dark mode" for websites on mobile WITHOUT using an extension like Dark Reader?

I am comparing this to coming from Brave, where I am using their "experimental" Night Mode settings (which works great). For the desktop browser, I've gone to Manage Colors and swapped text/background white/black to make most websites appear as if they have a dark mode, but that option doesn't seem to exist on mobile.

I've attached 4 images that show the differences across the two browsers on mobile. Even Google's own Dark Theme doesn't seem accessible through whatever method FireFox uses, so I can't even use that dark theme without an extension at the moment.

If this is not currently possible, I'm hoping it's planned for future implementation. I can't suggest it either since the feature suggestion page appears to be down at the moment (being reworked?).

Hi

I use the dark theme in the Firefox for Android settings which dark themes pages that support it. If you use the Google Search Fixer add-on you should then be able to easily turn on the dark theme in the Google Search page.

I hope that this helps.

Yeah, that works. I was just hoping there'd be a solution that didn't involve an add-on for each one (but that seems like a main perk of Firefox, being customization through add-ons).

That is the best method I can think of (it is what I use).
