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 1 out of 5by Umpahpah, 9 days agoFor me, it only works on the tabs pane, sites remans the same
- Rated 5 out of 5by AYSemkiv, 9 days agoI like this addon, but I really want an option to use it on restricted websites.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Shape, 12 days agoIts a good addon, but it automatically turns my custom theme black, which is why i did not rate it 5 stars.
If the option to leave the theme alone appears, ill fix this rating to a 5, but otherwise, it gets a 4.
Let me have my stary pixelated theme god damn it >:T - Rated 4 out of 5by Google Chrome, 16 days agolife-saver for my retinas, HOWEVER
costs a LOT of ram. if your browser lags hard i gotta go to task manager, firefox and kill the sub-program trying to eat 12gb of my 32 ram. usually works for long enough until i gotta repeat 10-15 mins later - Rated 5 out of 5by dwouu, 17 days agoWorks well on most websites, with or without tweaking. Prevents flashbangs even on "dark-themed" sites.
- Rated 2 out of 5by mlatpren, 17 days agoI *really* want to like this extension. It's got a lot of promise. But it's a huge resource hog, at least on my system. I have to fiddle with it on any site with even slightly fancy styling, so I can't really justify the performance dip. I tried switching to a CSS injector with some basic rules and it was more reliable and efficient than this. I hope (and have faith) that'll one day change, but for now I can't use this.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Alonzo, a month agoDark Reader has recently been causing me problems on various websites. The pages get stuck while loading and links do not lead to the linked content, but to the content above or below it. The following websites only work for me if I disable Dark Reader. I use Firefox and Opera as my browsers.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rév, a month agoA must have, it used to be paid before after a certain days (or maybe it still is on chrome) but now its the best browser extension to have, and works like a charm almost every time
- Rated 1 out of 5by circcc, a month agoI installed this extension on Firefox for Android, YouTube will not play frequently and I had to restart Firefox frequently. I didn't know this, so I suffered this inconvenience for 1 year and 5 months.
