Is there still no way to prevent the flash bang while waiting for initial content from the server?

  Use `background-color` in Firefox's `userContent.css`.

  Decrease screen brightness. Turn off dark mode. No flashbang. Bonus: Battery lasts longer.

I thought this was going to be about how people prefer different levels of blackness for the background in dark mode. I've heard people say that pure black is more battery efficient for OLED displays (but don't know if this is true), and I know some folks prefer a less-inky grey.

I was wondering how there could be six levels though; I'd think 3 or 4 would be the most anyone could notice or care about.

  The more universal solution would be to standardize Reader Mode compatibility, and for browsers to let users configure how they want Reader Mode to look.

  In other words, instead of an n x m solution where every web site has to cater to each different user preference, there should be a simplified content view that every web site only has to support in a singular way, and that allows browsers to cater to the various user preferences.

  for OLEDs, I tend to prefer pure black because it doesn't burn-in. Since they have a limited lifetime, any "on" time is costing me usage in the long-long-long run and I'd rather have my monitor last 5+ years than ... 2 or 3.

Level 9 (or 0): Turn off the computer and go to sleep.

Glad OP got the tri-state toggle right!

Would've been cool if the levels came into effect while you scrolled down the page

It's 8 levels though?
