If so check out Magic Actions for Chrome extension (think there is also a firefox one) One of the magic actions settings is a day/night mode allowing you to switch between Black text/white background or Black background/white text. It also has many other good options.

                i feel like Google desperately wants a piece of the social network cake but only has YouTube to work with so now they glue random bits and pieces to it, hoping they stick

                  Anonymous, 02 Aug 2018Someone explain to me what Stories is?You basically post something, and people can see what have you posted for 24 hours, then it moves into archives. Also you can edit that post with different emojies or pools or hashtags , etc etc.
                  Cool concept, but FOR GODDAMN SAKE Instagram and facebook and snapchat has this!!
                  I am still waiting for dark mode, and they come up with this... oh man...

                    Please STOP being a SnapChat wannabe, YouTube! Focus on making your platform better! I haven't seen a Dark mode on YouTube android app as promised! When are you going to work on that? And YouTube users, stop shooting videos in VERTICAL! Many users like me can't see what is happening in the background UNLESS you shoot horizontal.

                        Stories work on Instagram, but they will flop on YT.

                        People use the site to watch vids, they wont care about stories tbh

                          Someone explain to me what Stories is?

                            I can understand Instagram copying the 'story' feature from Snapchat and i occasionally end up using it. But introducing it to YouTube is nonsensical. They're doing it just coz everybody else is 😑

                              *cough* *cough*
                              Please leave this feature only to Effbook and Instagram!

                                Why Youtube need Stories? It is already a video sharing site. This is so stupid. All apps now becoming like each other it become pointless. Instagram becoming Youtube with it IGTV. Facebook becoming Whatsapp. What is the purpose? Creating homogenous apps????

                                  Zucced.

                                    This is about as bad, aa in 2007 when everyone was creating social networks.

                                      What?!
                                      At least leave YouTube alone!
