Rated 3 out of 5
by sunnyfox, 3 months agoNifty extension that does what it says and used to be really useful, it helps reduce eyestrain by giving me a dark mode on websites that don't have it. I used to leave it on all the time. But lately (past 2 months or so) it's been slowing down firefox and I have to disable it for the page to load properly. Really hope the issue gets fixed soon - if yes, 5 stars!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lazarus, 3 days agoAbsolutely fantastic addon that has worked on every single site I've thrown at it. The only downside is a bit higher resource usage than I'd like but it's bearable on my more modern systems. Mobile and lower end devices? Dark Reader makes the browser chug.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18969383, 22 days agoUsed to be a great extension, but over the last year or so it's gotten worse to use. There is 0 reason a PC with a 16 core / 32 thread cpu, 32gb ram, and a 2070 Super FE should have frequent tab crashes and closures over a DARK MODE EXTENSION. Optimize your code, goodness. I can't even open facebook anymore with the extension on, it's gotten that bad.
- Rated 2 out of 5by The Cap'n, a month agoI wanted to like this extension, tried it for several weeks. **Constant** tab crashes and memory leaks from overly aggressive CSS injections. As long as Dark Reader has been around, I just don't understand how this level of extension instability is even possible. GitHub is wholesale unnavigable due to tab crashes.
I ended up settling with manual changes to my browser's color/high contrast settings to force a global override on site colors. This at least works without ramping memory usage or crashing tabs. While it's a somewhat crude solution, that solution is indeed more effective and stable than using a third-party extension. - Rated 3 out of 5by Latra404, a month ago
