In dark mode websites, highlighted text is basically unreadable (!)

[Elaws]

Windows 10 - 21H2 Firefox 96.0.1

Description :

On dark mode, text highlighted with Memex is basically unreadable, which kind of defeats the purpose of an highlighter ! See the picture below.

Has Memex succesfully been tested with dark mode websites ? Is there any way to change highlight color, to provide better contrast with dark mode websites ?

Thank you !

I'm using the Dark Reader addon for Firefox -- I think it is the most common such addon and also "recommended" in the Firefox addon store --, and the result is similar.

When hovering over the highlight with the mouse, it's a bit better:

I came here to mention the same thing. I think this can be avoided if the text color is forced to black. Although I should say I really don't like a cold pale color (#d4e8ff) that you currently use as it does not show highlighting or importance of the marked text. I prefer a light orange or yellow.

Has there been some acknowledgment of this issue since it was reported a month ago ?

Thanks !

This Post helped me to adjust the settings in DarkReader.

Just place the CSS Code in DarkReader's Settings -> Devtools on top like this:

INVERT

// Leave as it is
