Default High contrast browser?

Any idea how to get web pages to have white text with black background? Like a theme, or browser app that allows this. I really like reading stuff that way.

Still would like to know the answer to this one. The option exists in every computer browser i've ever seen, it's built into windows, I'm sure the mac has it, but never heard of it for smartphones. It's a shame because, it's so much easier on my eyes, and saves battery on our amoled devices. NubiNews has the option for my google reader sites, but i really would like this for the whole internet.

Every app that has that option aka "night theme, or black theme or dark theme" i turn it on asap.

Impossible to do with current browsers.

The best bet is to use Firefox Mobile and wait until addons are enabled / the browser is good enough to use for daily use.

Talking High contrast CSS (cascading style sheet) for Opera and other mobile browsers.

The following CSS is optimized for the Nook Simple Touch, and the provided directions are for the same. If you have a different mobile device, you should be able to figure out what to do based on these instructions.

Directions:
  1. Rename user.css.txt to user.css
  2. plug in your nook
  3. copy the user.css to your nook. I suggest putting it inside of the "My Files/" directory.
  4. in Opera, type opera:config in the URL bar
  5. Go under "User Prefs" to find the "Local CSS File" option, or use the quick search to search for it.
  6. Change the "Local CSS File" to "/media/My Files/user.css" Use the "Back" button to navigate UP to the root in the filesystem hierarchy.
  7. Exit opera (in order to do so, enable the "Exit" button in "Settings->Advanced" from the Opera "O" dropdown menu)


This CSS file is validated with the W3C CSS validation service and validates as
CSS level 2.1.

Problems:

After installing this user.css file, opera:config seems to get screwed up. I
think this is because the CSS file kills background images.

The solution to this is to copy over a blank user.css file. Alternatively, you
can exit Opera, adb shell to the device, and remove
/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/opera.ini
