      Dark mode is incorporated into most modern browsers and OSs at this point. If your system is set to dark mode, your browser will run in dark mode also notify the site that you request dark mode. No server settings or accounts required. The site just needs to be configured to respect that request.

      Aside from that they can also store your preference according to cookies.

      I just want them to follow system default for guest user(s).

      they probably require an account because they have a system set up in a way where it’s mostly a server-side app and ui settings are only stored on the server

      This makes more sense for signed in user(s).

      No dark mode unless you register, is what I consider to be a asshole design choice.

          Ok, made an account(used a temp email). Nothing exquisite, just being able to switch between light and dark mode. I expected an option to set the toggle to follow device default after making an account and signing in.

          Doesn’t even remember which mode was toggled during the previous sign in.
