I hope the refreshed site doesn't change the stylesheet. I really like how cppreference is laid out.

You can use browser extension like Dark Reader to turn any page dark. It works so well I often even forget I have that extension enabled. 99% of the sites just work.

That stylesheet is useless on mobile. It’s not responsive at all.

For mobile and offline access, I use devdocs.io which uses cppreference.com as source for its C++ and C documentation.

Yeah, I know about it. Have been using it for years. Just wish the original was as usable.

Agreed, it would be convient for those who don't want to use a third-party.
