Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 16345916, 4 years agoI really, really want to love this extension but there are two main problems that keep me from having it installed.
1) It slows down your browser A LOT. Even on my high end gaming PC, websites load much slower and some will even hang until you disable the extension and refresh the page.
2) Sometimes the style changes don't "kick in" right away so you'll get a flash of white when you first visit a page. While this isn't a huge deal during the day, when it's night time and you've been browsing in all black for a while it feels like staring at the sun.
I continue to re-download Dark Reader every few months to give it another shot, but these problems still persist. It's a great idea, but the execution needs some work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by tjnewbry, 4 days agoWas amazing, but it freezes everything up now. Has been broken for months
- Rated 5 out of 5by DiGiTaL-CORE, 5 days agoExcellent add-on makes my browsing experience much more enjoyable. I can hardly go without Dark Reader and from their news feed I see they put a LOT of work into this add-on. It's not easy working with long standing bugs and ever changing API in FF and Chrome. Thank you, truly! Dark Reader, uBlock, Privacy Badger, and NoScript are the best.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kis Albert, 7 days agoThere is no need to have news reader in addon! Just bare minimum to get the job done with minimal CPU/RAM.
- Rated 3 out of 5by hippo, 7 days agoI don't why but after latest changes, it causes stylesheet objects to corrupt, and the pages fail to render

- Rated 3 out of 5by Beelz, 8 days agoVersion 4.9.99 and i'm still having issues with certain websites (twitch and kick in particular) causing insane lag on load, sometimes even killing the page entirely. it's not every time but it's gotten bad enough i felt the need to leave feedback at this point.
