- Rated 1 out of 5by Armando, 4 years agoThis extension slow down your browser/crash. In pages who is already "dark mode" it will break the page making is frustrating. Isnt intuitive IMO. But the last straw was the addon changed my dark toolbar to grayish and white (when addon is disabled) and didnt saved my previous toolbar (I clicked to check what the function did). Oh well, to much hassle for now. I can see it having potential to be a great extension but for now I wouldnt recommend it.
Edit: 1 month later after disabling it I still have issues. I wish I never had this installed. I would understand something Ive downloaded outside the official addon page screw with my browser. But for an "official" and recommended extension I cant stay quiet and do nothing. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ashish, 4 years agoThis extension will slow your browser down like hell...! At one point I almost switched to chrome thinking it was firefox that was the problem. Firefox would take nearly 10 minutes to start after a few days of installation of this extension. And even after the browser has started it would take decades to load the site. And suddenly every thing started working smoothly as soon as I uninstalled this piece of crap. A piece of garbage is what it is..! This should be removed from the add-on store all together if not improved.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gato_Arcoíris, 4 years agoI've tried to give this add-on a chance twice. But, sorry, can't do it. It breaks Firefox constantly.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13705376, 4 years agoNe se met pas en route automatiquement. Je dois à chaque fois aller le désactiver puis le réactiver (dans 'extensions') pour qu'il fonctionne.

posted 4 years agoHi, unfortunately Firefox has some strange bugs with it's rendering engine. The workaround was added in version 4.9.7, please wait for an update. - Rated 1 out of 5by NextGenThemes, 4 years agoSuper cool extension. BUT: Recently it abuse the fact that clones got spread with malware. In the "Instructions how to detect it". The first step it they try to make money by telling you to install spyware like Honey. How does that help me to detect if I was infected? Seriously shady wall of text and bullshit and only WAY down the page they actually tell you how to detect it. The Chrome instructions do not work for Brave BTW, you can not click any link to the Chrome store so I am not sure how I can verify it in my Brave Browser now. In FF I got the real version but I mean the malicious clones would not show a warning about themselves would they? So I guess I am fine Brave also showed the notice.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kalidur, 4 years agoNo funciona nada. No cambia el color de las letras aunque cierre la aplicacion o reinicie mi equipo android. En fin una decepcion mas.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NIGLOBERO, 4 years agoIt's great idea, I probe it and I like it, but it doesn't works properly in my firefox, it makes it works slow, and I can't be waiting for a web because Dark Reader is working. ¡¡ What a petty !!
Es una gran idea, la he probado y me gusta, pero no funciona en mi firefox, lo hace trabajar lento y no puedo estar esperando a una web por que esté trabajando Dark Reader. ¡¡ Es una pena !! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13365223, 4 years agoSo much lags, lags in many sites, also no updates....
hate that white flash it makes on Google.com
it makes my eyes hurt everytime - Rated 1 out of 5by jssss, 4 years agoToday, my firefox refused to start tabs, they were crashing (facebook twitter etc.).
After investigating, Dark Reader was the cause, once disabled, my firefox is working again and much faster.
Must be something wrong with this extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15687587, 4 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by 25IMF, 4 years agoIt's nice, but it removes all my themes. I thought it was just a reader, right?
But dude, my regular default is gone. - Rated 1 out of 5by LighT, 4 years agoAbsolute hands down the best add-on to night-mode-ify the web.
BUT
It renders Firefox unbelievably slow. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15468106, 4 years ago
