- by Firefox user 16474489, 6 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.

- by Firefox user 17333868, 3 months agoRated 2 out of 5I really wish this worked better, so many sites including this one still have a glaring white background and no settings seem to make any difference. sites it does work it inverts images which is largely useless especially when it makes dark images bright more often than bright images dark
- by Firefox user 5719110, 4 months agoRated 2 out of 5Leider funktioniert der dark reader nicht richtig, in fennec , Android Pie. Einmal kann ich das Farbschema / Theme umschalten, aber wenn ich browsertab umschalte, oder eine Seite neu lade, ist die Seite nicht mehr im dark oder welch auch anderem Theme.
Wenn ich dann die dark reader-Einstellungen laden will, gibt es sinngemäß "Einstellungen werden geladen, bitte warten, aber passiert nichts.
Einzig in den AddOn Einstellungen von fennec kann ich den dark reader deaktivieren. - by BladeMaker, 4 months agoRated 2 out of 5Noticeable lag upon clicking a website so i deleted this extension within 5 minutes of using. I am instead awaiting a global native universal dark for all websites, hope Firefox implements this like Chrome's "chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark" which is extremely effective on all websites and without the slowdown of an extension.
- by Don't worry about it, 4 months agoRated 2 out of 5Just too slow, too much delay. Not worth it overall.
- by Firefox user 13891300, 5 months agoRated 2 out of 5Change colors pretty well, but it causes a lot of pages to load very slowly, in stages, and in the meantime sometimes it'll be half dark, half white, stark eye-straining contrast.
- by obsolith.void, 6 months agoRated 2 out of 5well it works, but does not work as i need it to. i want it to be off and only toggle on for specific pages, not HAVE to be on all time for all pages just to toggle it off again for all the pages... just for the sake of having a few pages in dark mode. and it slows down the browser a lot on my low-end notebook. the devs should should check out how this extension is really annoying on different artists bandcamp pages. i listen to a lot of music from there and have to toggle off for pretty much every single page. i also have to say that i tried out about 2 years ago and still the same issue. just not for me...

- by TheAntisocial, 6 months agoRated 2 out of 5Love the idea but it's janky. Some sites look odd, which is fine as you can disable per site, but i currently can't as the shortcut isn't working and the menu has stopped working properly. Also causes a slight delay in loading sites that it's turned on for.
- by Daniel, 7 months agoRated 2 out of 5Addon setting "browserdesign" should be set to "default" by default, not "customized", because on customized it destroys all webExtension themes......

- by Firefox user 17031243, 9 months agoRated 2 out of 5I have two problems with Dark Reader. (1) When I change to a new tab or new content for a tab I typically get a bright white initial display before Dark Reader kicks in to style the new content, completely dazzling my dark-adapted eyes and obviating the point of the extension and (2) Critical content is often unreadable using Dark Reader. I'm guessing that the first problem is not easy to address given the self-imposed limitations of FF's new extension mechanism!

- by n.b., 10 months agoRated 2 out of 5This add-on sometimes works like a charm, but often breaks webpages, making them unusable whether or not I toggle the add-on on or off entirely or for single websites. The add-on often makes necessary navigation text and links unreadable/invisible. Also, removing the add-on does not remove the CSS from these pages, I probably need to empty my caches.
- by emree35, 10 months agoRated 2 out of 5I usually like to use this extension on Edge browser. However, it slows down Firefox, significantly. So, I disabled and stopped using it until developers fix it.
- by Firefox user 15690325, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Usually good, but for some reason sometimes it becomes so heavy it crashes my whole laptop.
- by spiercy16, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Plug-in crashes pretty frequently and breaks websites. Otherwise, when it works, it works great.
- by Firefox user 16860157, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Slows performance signifikant and makes some content invisible
- by Firefox user 12760379, a year agoRated 2 out of 5A good dark maker, unfortunately it is very slow. very very slow. Have to deinstall it.
