Yeah this is a complete bait and switch scam. It comes off as a "free extension" but when you download it they straight up are like "give me money or we'll lock the extension and also cause physical damage to your computer with a "memory leak" issue." Most of the "5 star reviews" are obvious AI bot reviews too, so don't let that fool you either. I mean sure the saying its "FOSS" but requiring payment is one thing and yeah you should just say "we require payment" on the ad. Purposely wording things in a way that beats around the bush is scummy, but a lot of these extensions and apps do this and it's expected at this point unfortunately.

Having "memory leak issues" due to faulty programming which causes physical damage to someone's computer, and to also require payment at the same time makes me feel sorry for the unfortunate people that are less computer literate that actually paid these hacks $10 and are wondering why their CPU and Memory are running at max load constantly. Use that $10 or whatever the exchange rate for your country is and go to the local corner-store and get a cheap pair of sunglasses if you need dark mode this badly. It's safer for your computer, phone, and wallet. We're in a memory shortage crisis as is and these jerks are going to cause you to be paying more than $10 for their badly programmed "gimmick" down the line.

this extension causes huge memory leak in FireFox, just imagine Google search page takes about 4Gb, as well as YouTube page loads 4Gb of something filling in RAM.
after removal DarkReader from FireFox - situation with memory leak came back to normal.
do not install this extension if your still want to use FireFox.

Will never use an extension that asks a user to pay money. Sorry.

Many sites require a different filter (dynamic, filter, filter+, static) when forced in dark mode to be readable. Why don't save the filter setting in addition to the dark mode option for each configured site?

Excellent work by the developers. This has been part of my setup for a while now and it never lets me down.

The best!

Great but only three stars because it breaks the FireFox start screen. White text on a white background is not readable

good

i love dark mode

I've tried many alternatives, but Dark Reader is hands down the best. Huge plus for the flexible settings: you can adjust brightness, contrast, add site exceptions, and even tweak fonts. It runs smoothly in Firefox and doesn't hog resources. Huge thanks to the developers!

great fast simple recently after last update it slows my browser

Your last update screwed every single web site I go to, and that is no exaggeration. Every web site now has some random color, changed every color...doesn't even follow my OS or my Firefox settings. This is unacceptable, completely unacceptable. It's going to take me weeks to reset everything. I'm really tired of bad updates.
