    @gareth Space Opera Mode is my favourite, but grayscale/greyscale and Airplane Mode made me laugh.

      LOLOL, these are fantastic! 🤣

      gray/grey 😂

      And they did a great job making it possible to still switch modes no matter how funky the page! (I wasn't sure I could get out of "Space Opera mode", but I did! 😂)

      Though "modem mode" froze my tab and I had to close it and reload. (was that the intention? 🤔 entirely possible! 😂)

      Oh, and I almost didn't find what was different about "spring mode"! (You have to scroll the page! 😆)

          @gareth Screensaver and Modem mode seem to crash the browser tab in Firebox. They work fine in Chrome

            @sborrill interesting. I only tried in Orion and it was fine in the MacOS and iOS versions. I wonder if that’s what @5ciFiGirl, @skeptator and @erinaceus were seeing…

                  @gareth I clicked around, hit the random button, and of course landed on https://xkcd.com/1732/ - in Modem mode 😂
                  It... took a while^^

                    @gareth Reloaded again to time the whole thing, it takes about a minute for 1k years - so around 20mins for the whole image to load.

                                @5ciFiGirl how long did you leave modem mode? It… takes a while. Better with sound too!

                                I did enjoy grey 🤣

                                And thanks for the hint on Spring mode, I managed to miss that one yesterday!

                                  @gareth "Darkest Mode" is the best. It's really easy on my eyes.

                                      Ok, today’s xkcd is glorious!

                                      [edit] I should probably mention you need to visit the site for the full effect, it’s more than just a comic today!

                                      @gareth does Modem Mode crash the browser for anyone else?

                                        @gareth I clicked around, hit the random button, and of course landed on https://xkcd.com/1732/ - in Modem mode 😂
                                        It... took a while^^
