Hmm.
I think I might end up just using Firefox or Opera or another browser instead.
I just noticed there is no ad blocker on chrome, so that's hardly ideal when I run on a metered connection. So I guess maybe Opera and its data-saving mode will be useful there too.
My device is already in dark mode but I will see what happens when I use that chrome flag.
Use Firefox then. I am using Firefox too. you can install ublock origin in firefox mobile version and it works like a charm.. never used Opera. so not sure about that.
