It should be off by default, then you should turn it on. Some sites don't work with this or already come with dark mode, so having this turned on by default on each page gets annoying. Turning it off it off saves it per site, which is why the function should be reversed. Aside from this, it's great for sites that don't offer dark mode, it does it's job.

目前用到最好的暗色效果,功能上就差一个定时或跟随系统开关,就完美了,希望开发者能考虑一下

It needs to be off by default or at least to give an option for what the default is. Otherwise very good so far.
