Very well-written, thanks for sharing. Stories like this are important!

> I went on looking for one of those browser extensions that made it easier to read. [...] I had to find the perfect one, with the cleanest user interface, the best features, the most convenient, across all cases and needs.

Examining the supply chain of those extensions and whether they were open-source and reputable should have been part of the evaluation process!

Also surely there is no reason to install any "dark reader" extension aside from the canonical Dark Reader...? https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader I thought this one was very well-known. I still wouldn't recommend _using_ it, you remain at risk of upstream's supply chain being compromised, but it's at least not malicious by default.

Firefox has dark mode built into its reader view feature which works on most websites, I'd imagine Chrome can do something similar. I greatly prefer and recommend this over installing an extension.
