Rated 5 out of 5
by Adam Logan, 2 years agoLove the option to keep the filter on permanently while dynamically toggling light/dark theme based on system dark/light setting. This is different from default behavior. Light mode becomes less glaring this way, a light grey instead of pure white. What a pleasure it is to read this way!
Gen Settings:
√ Enable by default
√ Detect Dark Theme
Automation Settings:
Use system color scheme
Toggle Dark/Light

- Rated 5 out of 5by DemonKingOdio, 4 days agoEasily one of the best extensions, but (the admittedly optional) 10$ license payment still feels steep. Thankfully, the only thing tied to it is cloud syncs of sites you've disabled the extension on

- Rated 1 out of 5by Siz, 5 days agoYeah 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tony, 6 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by me.myself.and.I, 7 days agothis 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by July, 8 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Matt H, 10 days agoWill never use an extension that asks a user to pay money. Sorry.
- Rated 3 out of 5by pulsar14, 11 days agoMany 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?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jeremiah Perez, 12 days agoExcellent work by the developers. This has been part of my setup for a while now and it never lets me down.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Joe, 12 days agoGreat but only three stars because it breaks the FireFox start screen. White text on a white background is not readable

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 18 days agoI'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!
