- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11543504, 7 years agoWorks perfect, except on Youtube. I have a good gpu but when colors are inverted, Youtube videos lag heavily. Have to turn it off for youtube, everywhere else it works fine. CPU usage also goes to crazy 30% because of youtube on invert. Please fix.
Edit - Contacted the developer, gave me an extremely helpful reply. Will be resolved soon hopefully.Developer response
posted 7 years agoDynamic Theme mode has been published. It will require some CPU on initial page loading, because YouTube heavily uses CSS variables. Also try using built-in YouTube dark theme. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12842591, 7 years agoIs an improvement on the dark reader I was using previously in the following ways :
1. colour scheme is truly quite intelligent and much easier on the eyes than simple inversion
2. the menu for controlling the extension is well-designed, intuitive and looks good - Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Parker, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Андрей Акимов, 7 years agoЖутко тормозит на мобильной версии Firefox. Хотел с планшета почитать сайты, но не тут то было! Так как для мобильной версии Chrome нельзя устанавливать расширения, то специально установил мобильный Firefox и это дополнение. На моём Asus MeMo Pad FHD10 страницы грузились очень долго, прокрутка практически зависала по несколько секунд. На десктопной версии проблем нет.

posted 7 years agoTry Dynamic and Static theme modes, they require less CPU and GPU resources. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gabriel, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by yoshi314, 7 years agoPretty cool, needs some time to adjust to it. Some shortcuts are not working on my setup
- Rated 3 out of 5by Satish P, 7 years agoThis add-on is really great for people like me who prefer to use dark mode/themes all over. My OS is also always on High Contrast with White text on Black backgrounds. Firefox's Colors doesn't help much because most websites are simply useless when viewed with overridden dark colors and High Contrast. So I thank the developer for really good and useful work!
However there seem to be issues with some sites (bugzilla.mozilla.org is completely dark with nothing visible; GitHub fares a little better but still unusable). Performance is also a big hindrance - page loads and scrolling are completely off with this extension enabled. I presume the Chrome version may not have these issues but I prefer Firefox and would like to see this extension working well with it.Developer response
posted 7 years agoJust published Dynamic Theme mode, which should have no blank screen and performance bugs. If some website is displayed wrong, you can send a link to darkreaderapp@gmail.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13903605, 7 years agoI can't help but assume there is a bug, but while Dark Reader works as advertised, it completely destroys performance. I'm using a 2017 Macbook Pro and viewing even the simplest pages result in extremely laggy scrolling, page load, and even closing Firefox sometimes hangs. I initially assumed it was a problem with Firefox, but as soon as I removed Dark Reader, everything was fine again.
