WikimediaUI Dark mode is a user script for enabling dark-mode in modern browsers. It is also available as a gadget on English Wikipedia. Note that this is an experiment based on the work of Wikimedia Design team members Volker E. and Alex Hollender in support by volunteer MusikAnimal and others.
It's now among the top 5 most-used custom enabled gadgets on enwiki, without any advertisment. Thanks to all users!

Any modern browser works with the only exception being Opera Mini, which lacks filter support.
