by Firefox user 13482431, 6 years agoUpdate: Tried to use this as this is the one of the only ones that seems to "work" on the mobile Firefox platform. But today I had to uninstall it. The script that this addon keeps crashing and I have to either "stop script" or "continue" when it does crash the page. This addon is absolutely clumsy... Grateful that it is free, but even though it is free, it is unuseable...
OLD:
I really tried to love this extension. After getting a notice that a Dark Mode extension was no longer certified or checked or whatever the mozilla folks are determining safe use was no longer safe, I switched over to this one since it was "recommended" and seems like mozilla was ok with it (whatever the hell that means).
The interface is clumsy, can't you just implement a simple switch?
When you do turn it on or off, you have to refresh the page, which sometimes destroys the content of the page.
I really really tried to like it, not give it one star cause you deserve an extra start for effort, but the quality of this extension is an F. It's clumsy, too many options (just give us dark mode, 99% don't care to tweak the little things, it gets in the way).
Why are "dark mode" so hard to implement? Just flip the white to black, black to white, and if the pages don't come out right, we'll just force it back and complain to the webmaster. I just don't get it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander A., 7 days agoHey! I have a weird problem with this extension:
I made a userscript that highlights certain text on a page, but DarkReader keeps overriding my high visibility colors (neon yellow, magenta, cyan, etc.) with neutral versions of these colors. I tried to be slick and added 'darkreader' class to my style element to trick the extension into thinking that it is its own style and ignore it, and it worked! But now I found out that DarkReader deletes all its styles on websites that already have dark theme, including my own style.
Is there any way to make DarkDeader ignore certain CSS styles or rules? - Rated 5 out of 5by ArseniosTs, 7 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by FlameWhiskers, 8 days agoThis extension saved my eyeballs from feeling like they were burning when I'd visit sites on my television and being encountered by a blinding white page.

- Rated 5 out of 5by WilsonBorkowski, 11 days agoThis extension is great. I had previously tried the Dark Mode by Bernard extension but was frustrated because it was either everything on or off. It was not easy to whitelist webpages and more often than not websites end up looking weird with dark mode applied to them. But this extension lets me set the site list to inverted listed only so by default it is off and only on for specific domains that I add. That's perfect for me because I would much rather add the few sites I actually want dark mode on than exclude every site where I don't like it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by QWERTY-AZERTY, 14 days agoGreat extnsion, but sadly, it slows down a lot of sites. it will work fine, but sites where you look at images slow down heavily. Other than that, it is a must have! ❤️

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20043519, 22 days agoIt pains me to rate it this low as I do love it, but with the last update it's now slowing down google docs to an almost unusable state. A shame, since it's the only reason I have this addon and until now it was seamlessly functional. Messed with settings but the only thing that fixes it is turning it off entirely. Using a mac.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 20042870, 23 days agoAlmost perfect. Occasionally, for unknown reasons, it gets turned off on some websites. Working through temporary blindness, I'll have to disable, then re-enable it for those sites.
