Review by pedz
Rated 3 out of 5
by pedz, 7 years agoThis addon stylizes pages with remarkable accuracy in terms of keeping the color dynamics of the inverted material and content itself as true to the original page as possible, but dark.
The unfortunate part is that due to performance I just was kinda forced to switch to Dark Reader. DR does an pretty good job of stylizing too, but it's not nearly as good as Midnight Lizard. I suppose that all comes at a price, however. On a better PC perhaps I would switch back to ML in a heart beat.
I did try playing with the settings extensively to get better performance and was able to make it usable, but I just can't really accept big 30 second lock ups when I load a especially intensive website that ML has to chew on for that long. Having big numbers of tabs open as I'm just so inclined to do for some reason I'll never understand also begins to take a big toll a lot sooner.
If you make any optimization breakthroughs or I get better hardware I'll absolutely give it another shot. Keep up the good work.
Edit: I did try simplified mode and it helped a lot, but the performance impact could still be felt. Honestly I can't recall what pages were the worst performing, but I will say it just varied even on the same website. It seems worse the more general load the CPU is experiencing while following links. Often Firefox would throw out a slow addon message about ML so that's the reason I knew it was definitely this addon slowing the browser down. The biggest issue was loading for the first time and having ML initialize everything. That was always causing a noticeable struggle regardless of the site.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThank you for the review.
Did you try simplified mode as well?
Also can you provide a link where it took 30 seconds to load the page.
It is definitely unacceptable and I haven't seen such pages yet.
Best regards

I need to turn off the add-on, reload the page and turn on the add-on again to see the page. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18611515, 6 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by curlew, a year agogreat, but tricky to pinpoint filter setting affects and how they affect each other! youtube is also weird and its impossible to read text overlaying a video unless you highlight it, no matter what filter settings you change.

- Rated 5 out of 5by daniboi, a year agoExcellent add-on!
Just wish clicking icon on panel could switch on/off. - Rated 3 out of 5by MattToronto, a year agoGets the job done, but the omission of a simple per-site toggle is baffling.

- Rated 3 out of 5by sadamitsuTD, a year agoin desperate need of updates, totally broken when used with youtube. Still, one of the few add-ons for firefox that can customize text and link colors for individual websites without .css.
