Blocking Dark Mode

Site URL: https://aboutbeavers.squarespace.com

Hi!

 I recently build a small portfolio website. It was important for me to always have a white website with black writing/menu.

However, I saw my website on a friend's Android phone. And it turned out that (during the day!) the website was black. And also the burger menu was dark grey instead of black/white (depending of which page it is).

I guess this is the dark mode that the browser enforces? Is there a code to prevent this from happening? On my iPhone there is always everything in white (see Screenshot) - even at night with system-wide dark mode.

Best regards,

Seeeeeg

Does anyone can help me out here? Many, many thanks! :)

I think I found the reason:

Apparently, the browser in the screenshot is the Samsung Internet Browser - hence, it enforces the dark mode.

This article says, there is no way to stop Samsung from doing this. Is this correct? 😕

Did anyone ever find a solution? I'm trying to work with Dark Mode atm and having little luck with CSS.

That's very intersting to know that the dark mode is not a "nice-to-have" any more. That's quite drastic move to e.g. invert the logo automatically.
