firefox, zen-browser: add darkReader option

[0xda157]

Haven't tested locally yet
Currently not working because dark reader doesn't have support for config via hm.

resolves #495

Good idea! Last time I looked though, dark reader couldn't be configured using extension storage or policies, but please correct me if I'm wrong. In that case, we could check out darkreader/darkreader#12920 which aims to add support for policies. I think @voronind-com made a Nix config that uses that. darkreader/darkreader#2168 seems to offer a solution for syncing colors during runtime alongside this nix config.

Yes, I do indeed patch the Dark Reader with that PR and use colors from the Stylix. No issues apart from the fact that I need to allow the installation of unsigned ff extensions.

I don't update the colors on a running ff instance as the browser itself requires a restart to apply new colors.

Would be happy to help.

That is indeed a problem because AFAIK this cannot be automated and is a security regression. The DarkReader README also mentions that signing keys for Firefox are available, but I wasn't able to successfully deploy these.

Shouldn't be a problem since that's how most apps behave.

Would be happy to help.

I appreciate it!

Me neither, so here we are. The best solution would be to ask the dev to merge the pull request, maybe from the Stylix team. He should be aware about that PR as he left some comments there before.

I appreciate it!

I said that in a hope you could point me to the stuff I could do :p

I think it's not worth it to create a solution just now. I'd rather wait for the darkreader PR to be merged and assist there. But hey, this isn't my PR!

Bummer that dark reader can't be configured with hm, I'll just leave this pr as a draft until dark reader adds support.

This PR would be able to resolve #253 and #495, right?

It's won't resolve #253 because it's overriding the website's styling instead of suggesting a polarity.

What is the state of this PR?
