Huh? It has a dark mode in Settings->Theme.

As for ad-blocking, I have found that system-wide blocking works great as suggested in the docs https://grapheneos.org/faq#ad-blocking. YMMV...

Cromite indeed looks great.

It doesn't have the dark mode, the one that makes white pages black

The DNS Adblocking fix is not really viable if you live nowhere near that server, otherwise it will make your experience miserable
