Dark Reader by Alexander Shutau
Review by Firefox user 16531945
Rated 2 out of 5
It looks great and works as advertised. However it bogs Firefox down *very* quickly. After install I found tabs taking forever to load, links would hang after clicking them, and some pages would completely freeze in transition for almost a full minute. Closing firefox, shutting any process left in the control panel down, and reopening it will resolve the issue for about 5 minutes, and then everything hangs again. I've found a lot of dark mode extensions do similar things, but this one was the worst, and fastest, to do it. Uninstalling the extension resolved every issue I had, and if you're having similar issues you can see it's firefox by opening the task manager, selecting more details, and viewing the memory usage of the app before and after removing or installing the extension.

Do not mistake with another new extension which has the nerve or the blindness to have the exact same name : Dark Reader at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-reader-player/ - by Firefox user 13610875, 4 days agoRated 4 out of 5

- by Firefox user 16474489, 7 days agoRated 2 out of 5This addon is a test of frustration. Half the time it doesn't work properly. Either it sets dark theme during the day or fails to set it after sunset. I tried letting it follow the device theme and the location coordinates, and in both cases the problem persists. I don't understand why I constantly find myself manually disabling/enabling the dark theme. It used to be way better.
