Rated 1 out of 5
by paulo_Brasil, a year agoUsed to be the best extension for dark mode in any browser.
Now its a complete trash. It will freeze your computer, that's guaranteed.
Not only that, the extension wasn't abandoned by the devs. It still gets frequent updates.
Which leads me to think the resource heavy bug not being addressed is not a oversight, it's by design.
I just can't trust this extension anymore, I have no Idea why they're using so much of my computer.

- Rated 2 out of 5by CaptainYellow, 2 hours agoSlows down reddit to the point that it becomes completely unstable and cant load new content
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kelly Bryan, 3 hours agoReally solid extension. Clean and lightweight, fits perfectly into my workflow. Does exactly what it promises.

- Rated 2 out of 5by gleb-yukhymenko, 16 hours agoFrom my experience of using the extension, the add-on seems to be unsatisfactory at best, and unusable at worst. For instance, basically every site that I visited had the logo at the lop-left corner of the screen blend in with the background in terms of color. It will also sometimes just not work as expected, and by sometimes I mean almost all of the sites that I visit. Even the site on which I'm writing this review (addons(dot)mozilla(dot)org/) is in white mode while running the extension. You should really fix your utility before asking users to donate $10 (which happens immediately, mind you).

- Rated 2 out of 5by zaibutzu, 7 days agolatest May 7 version makes reddit totally unusable, crashing the site
- Rated 3 out of 5by Webzilla, 8 days agoWith the latest Firefox update (version 150.0.2, May 7, 2026), this extension causes slow-down in the Reddit website, and only there. Screen updates lag or become unresponsive for long durations on the Reddit site. Firefox then shows a notification bar right below the address bar saying Dark Reader is causing the slowdown. Please fix if you can.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19918529, 9 days agoWorks pretty well, but they broke something with the most recent update, and it's causing a huge memory leak. I had to go back to 4.9.124
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lou, 9 days agoUsed to be great, but more and more it'll make some sites like run 10-30x slower until they crash your browser tab. (Tested and confirmed it was this extension)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13373464, 14 days agoOne of the OG addons have to be removed finally. Loved this addon for years but its at the point now it is very noticeably slowing down my pages. Sometimes to the point of freezing the entire browser.
IMO the addon needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18815035, 15 days agoGreat full featured Dark Mode add-on that has been steadily improving over the years. It's not perfect, but it's very close and much better than other add-ons. The only thing better than this add-on is for the webpage itself to have a dedicated dark mode. But for the rest of the internet, this add-on is pretty solid.
