I had two tabs of Less Wrong open, enabled Dark Mode in one of them, then opened a link from the Default (non-dark) tab, and the new tab was Default, too.
Playing around some more with this, it seems like the site doesn’t remember the Dark Mode setting for me. Browser: Firefox desktop, v100.0.
I’ve tweaked some scoping options on the theme cookie which should hopefully address this. (There was a bug where it mattered what URL you were on when you used the theme-picker menu, in a way that it shouldn’t have.)
Correction: The setting is still not working correctly for me.
For instance, I have this page set to Dark Mode, refresh the page, and it stays in Dark Mode as expected. But then I set it to Default and it becomes white, refresh the page again, and it’s somehow back to Dark Mode.

Thanks. After your fix, I had to re-set the option to Dark Mode once more, but now the site seems to remember it across tabs.
