Wikipedia is a knowledge-sharing website that comprises information about all things. It provides content in different languages, and it is the largest encyclopedia website available online. Wikipedia is a free platform that is written and managed by a community of volunteers. Wikipedia is also available as a standalone application for Android and iOS devices. One of the best features of the Wikipedia app is that it supports Night mode. If you’re a night reader, you can enable it and reduce the eye strain while reading Wikipedia articles at night time. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia website doesn’t have dark mode support. But, you can view the website in the dark theme with the help of a browser extension. If you like to read and learn using Wikipedia, enable the dark theme and read comfortably without straining your eyes.
