- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17903605, a year agoThis extension is a huge difference maker for me, and for so many people, reducing eyestrain and promoting eye health. The internet is always changing and squashing bugs is a constant battle. So thank you Dark Reader for your hard work!!!
I want to contribute some encouragement and I will contribute cash as soon as I'm able.
Edit: For users who may need to disable this on a specific website: First, go to the website where you're having issues, then open the extension menu (you should see only your active extensions). Select Dark Reader, then uncheck "Enabled for current website". The menus are different between desktop & mobile, but it's fairly easy to figure out. - Rated 4 out of 5by Sparris, a year agoreally a must-have addon if you don't want your retinas to be burnt to a crisp on a daily basis. i'm rating it 4/5 because it has helped me for so long, but sadly the past days its been having issues with youtube to the point where i can't have it activated at all for it.
every time i try and activate it and refresh youtube homepage, the browser is about to crash and it asks me to stop this addon specifically. when i pause the addon, it works fine and i can refresh youtube without the browser almost collapsing.
were this to be fixed, then its an easy 5/5 for me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18730218, a year agoNot works on Mozilla.org page. All other perfect

- Rated 5 out of 5by pt, a year agoTo those with v4.9.97 breaking Firefox: Just realized that the Developer's note applies to Settings on DarkReader, not Firefox. Go to the DR icon on the top of your window and choose "MORE". It is to the right of "Filter". Then choose "Default" below.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tikitaki, a year agoWith last update I got blank black window and menus in firefox
Update: disabling custom theme solved my problem, thx!Developer response
posted a year agoPlease disable "Custom browser theme" option (More > Default or Settings > General > Custom browser theme). - Rated 1 out of 5by robomatic, a year agoSomething's broken with this addon, it used to work perfectly, now it's slowing down Firefox.
Please fix! - Rated 1 out of 5by anon44449999, a year agoused for a long time, has had performance issues over its lifespan but for ~month or so the performance is horrendous. causes most big-name websites (reddit, youtube, google) to completely seize up and load extremely slow, currently making this add-on completely unusable. i will edit the review if this gets fixed but currently this just straight up breaks your browser
- Rated 3 out of 5by kawazuchi, a year agoIn terms of aesthetics, the best dark mode add-on. But it slows down the browser very much, so use with caution.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18722527, a year agoGood... almost. For instance, it doesn't work in this very page page at addons.mozilla.org
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18726046, a year agoSlows Firefox to a complete stall. Can't use it anymore. Shame.
- Rated 1 out of 5by sjuul, a year agoWebsites load slower than far too slow. And after updates performance seems to even get worse over time instead of better. This add-on is 110% unusable.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Biotic, a year agoWas pretty good up until recently where it started causing FF performance to tank.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wiz Skywalker, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Muppet, a year agoSlows down websites where dark mode is already enabled, detects darkmode enables it anyway on top of dark mode causing memory leaks to.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18724362, a year agoGave them benefit of the doubt for the past month, but still no fix in sight for the massive performance issues on sites like Reddit & YT, none of the filtering methods work to stop the extension from using up to 32gb of ram suddenly.
Stuck using it since there's no real good alternative. - Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Alimax AL, a year agoWah, ini solusi terbaik di awal November 2024 karna telah mengatasi masalah saya di Browser Firefox dan Google Chrome. Dimana saya tidak perlu lagi mengatur secara manual mengubah warna text dan background saat beralih ke halaman YouTube terutama mengetik di kolom Komentar Video YouTube dan Shorts YouTube. Lalu saat beralih buka Web yg bertema gelap, masih tetap jelas kelihatan tulisan berubah putih atau warna lain yg lebih terang enak dilihat dan dibaca. Salut dan bangga dgn pembuat dan pengembang Dark Reader ini. Thank a lot.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18005979, a year agoslows down reddit and there inst an option to disable it on specific websites.
- Rated 1 out of 5by zeila, a year agothis extension is causing websites to not load properly in firefox (reddit. i will be using a different dark reader till it gets fixed
- Rated 1 out of 5by Benny, a year agoThere was a recent update or something because this Add-on is making my Firefox super slow. I feel like for some reason there seems to be a memory leak because Firefox is using soo much RAM when Dark Reader is enabled. Task manager is telling me my RAM, 16GB, is almost maxed with only firefox and a couple tabs. There has to be a bug or something, I get a popup from Firefox asking me if I want to disable the addon because it is making the browser super slow. I have to disable it until this gets fixed. I love it when it works, but not right now
