Key Highlights
- There is no built-in option to bring the dark mode on the Medium website.
- You need to customize the browser display or install an extension to get the dark mode.
Medium is the online writing/blogging platform where you can write, publish, and promote your content. Moreover, if your content is eligible for Medium Partner Program, you will get paid for the content. Since the platform is free, the user spends more hours reading the article, which results in eye strain. To avoid that, you can enable the dark mode in Medium and enjoy reading the article for a long time, especially during night conditions.
