- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16503086, 4 years agoIt could be better but it distorts some pages and makes the opening of pages heavy. He needs adjustment, he's got good potential.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Thunder, 4 years ago2 stars for effectively giving me the ability to put dark mode on any website.
-3 stars for
1) making all my tabs run slower...significantly slower
2) not honoring my preference of not running the addon on certain sites. After setting a site to not use the addon when I return to the page, the addon will still sometimes applying theming to the page...sometimes incompletely. This sometimes caused text to become unreadable.
A change could be made to the addon to correct this...default to off. Let me set a preference for if I want to apply dark mode or light mode, and then let me turn it on rather than force me to turn it off when it doesn't work for a site. This would default to the addon doing nothing on any sites until I explicitly say I want to use it there. You could even set it so I can choose whether the addon is used by default or not used by default. Options are always good.
I have uninstalled this addon because of these problems. If I hear these issues have been corrected, I'll try it again. - Rated 2 out of 5by Internet User, 4 years agoI really enjoyed this until I realized it saves the sites you toggle even while in a private browser. If I'm in a private browser, I don't want anything saved. I don't care if I have to manually toggle the modes every time I open Firefox, I do not want my history saved in any way and this unfortunately does that. I even removed it and reinstalled it and it saved the old sites I had visited. Manually removing them is a pain. If this hiccup can be fixed, it'd be an easy 5 stars but my privacy concerns majorly knocked it down.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Catinks, 4 years agoWould be excellent, if the exceptions list actually worked, unless there's something I'm doing wrong, I'm just gonna not use this.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Mephistopheles, 4 years agoNot only substantially slows down my Firefox, but frequently causes most pages, particularly Nazibook, to stop responding
- Rated 2 out of 5by Karoline B Bakke, 4 years agoI used to really like Dark Reader, until it seemingly ruined firefox for me. Now, I have some websites that will only work if I enable Dark Reader, as the text often is permanently white. This is a problem that has stayed even after I disabled Dark Reader. The only thing that works is completely reinstalling firefox. Some websites just don't look as good in dark mode, so not having the option to turn it off sucks. It also started slowing down my browser like crazy, so it has its fair share of issues.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16038563, 4 years agoWorked great without any problems until Firefox 8.0.1. Now it crashes randomly and has to be disabled and re-enabled to work again.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Krackenn, 4 years agoEn Android es muy bueno, lamentablemente es también muy pesado y enlentece al navegador.
En Pc es lo mismo, enlantece al navegador. - Rated 2 out of 5by thophoi, 5 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ari B, 5 years agoThis started out great but over time has become and increasing nuisance. It really would be best if it had some sort of machine learning in it that allowed intelligent display of a page based on the page's settings, not necessarily this app. Renders Ecosia searches illegible and frequently makes pages look dusty rather than making them more readable; dark grey text on a taupe background is actually really difficult to read. It also eats up memory like nobody's business. Won't be using again, i'll just turn down the whole screen brightness and deal with it.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Kvoth3, 5 years agoIt was working fine for 3 weeks. Then it kept causing firefox to slow down and crash. Worked great otherwise, please fix this issue.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sarecee, 5 years agoDark Reader doesn't work on most sites for Firefox For Android. It seems as if settings apply only to Firefox Desktop, no mention of android.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14423297, 5 years agoVery CPU intensive, pages blocked still have some elements changed. un-installing will try again w/version 6...
- Rated 2 out of 5by Matze, 5 years ago- Das Add-On macht das laden der Seiten sehr langsam.
- Die Farbwahl/Kontrast und Darstellung ist nicht besonders gut gelungen. Teilweise sind einzelne Texte überhaupt nicht zu sehen. - Rated 2 out of 5by TAG, 5 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by MX, 5 years agoHace que el navegador funcione muy lento, y eso es una cosa que valoro mucho de los navegadores, por eso solo le doy 2 estrellas, pero el resto de la extensión es perfecta, solo le falla eso.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ama Zinger, 5 years agoAuto-detect does not work at all, at least on Android. My phone is in night mode, but this extension completely ignores it. I remember when I could manually set when to turn this thing on, but seems like developer cut this feature.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15921504, 5 years agoI had to disable the extension for now. It slows down every website load.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sinbad, 5 years agoIt used to work without problems but ever since the last update it works 5 times out of 10. Most times now I have to turn it off since it makes some major sites (like eBay, Amazon, and Google products) just load and run as slow as a turtle duct taped to a boulder. If it didn't have those moments of slow down then it would be the perfect product.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15086627, 5 years agoGreat features and really saves my eye strain. Unfortunately it makes your browser extremely slow. Some sites take over 30 seconds to load with this add-on enabled. When you disable the add-on the sites load fine.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15236507, 5 years ago新的auto模式只能识别系统黑暗模式开启,但是我的手机系统没有黑暗模式啊!请求把之前多样化的自动设置加回来🙏
