Dark Mode

that would be a good idea

There are many existing discussions here in the Support Community about dark mode.  (In general, it's often better to add your comments to an existing discussion about the topic rather than create yet another separate discussion on the same topic.)

In one Dark Mode discussion, KA Support Advocate Evan Lewis posted in May 2025 that adding dark mode to KA would require lots of resources and 'it’s unlikely that a native dark mode will be available in the foreseeable future.'  KA suggests the free open-source Dark Reader browser extension; 'it does not collect any user data. I’ve tested this extension myself and found that it works reasonably well on Khan Academy, especially when using the "Dynamic" theme generation mode.'

Good luck.

That’s obviously a red herring. Many students use KA on school computers, which do not allow students to install anything. Of course, students could ask the sysadmins to install it, yet system‐wide rollout of browser extensions is a nuisance, it’s not gonna happen.

Kai Burghardt,

For how many school districts do you have personal experience with the response when students asked for a browser extension that is often used for reasonable ADA accomodations?
(I have none, so I made no claim as to how likely it is that a school would do that.)

If you're correct that schools won't do it, then groups that advocate for students need to put pressure on Khan Academy to prioritize things that matter.  I've seen little evidence that posts here on the Support Community change KA direction on anything.
