- Rated 5 out of 5by Jezze, 7 years agoI think I testes all similar add-ons that are available for Firefox and this one is definitely the best in my opinion. You have one button for global activation/deactivation and a distinct button in the address bar for the current website. Sure, you don't have as many customization options as other add-ons, but if the default settings are appealing, you don't need to change them with numerous options.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Richard, 7 years agoI must be missing something as the website white list is not editable that I can see. So perhaps set up a tutorial or tell me how to enable this feature as I have some websites I don't want your extension working it's inversion magic on. Other than that nice little plugin here. Also the menu is not there when I click or right click on the own icon, I just get remove or customize, the usual menu bar configuration options you get for the bar itself but nothing for the plugin. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13992215, 7 years agoI've tried several "invert colors" add-ons, but this Owl addon seems to really work! I love it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Subhrajyoti Sen, 7 years agoWorks brilliantly. Love the dark UI this provides on GitHub
- Rated 5 out of 5by ZetaInvestigator, 7 years agoThanks for the update! I heavily use this extension. Definitely would suggest it to dark-theme fans and the shortcuts are nice

- Rated 1 out of 5by spyder52, 7 years agoAs of the time of writing this review, any page that is whitelisted and opened in a new tab (out of view), the whitelisting is ignored and the page is inverted...
Night Mode Pro extension does everything owl does, but better! So I changed... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13887545, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13889377, 7 years agoDarkens all the colours, respecting the original ones, not inverting them. Thanks!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13880297, 7 years agoOwl is brilliant at rendering webpages with a dark theme.
I can only give three stars though as I'm experiencing massive slow downs in page loads for sites such as google.co.uk to the point where I nearly went back to Chrome thinking that Firefox Quantum was a bit buggy.
I noticed the slow down after the latest update to Firefox (59.0.1) but I'd also just added the google site to Owls list to darken.
Disabling Owl sped things up again as did removing Google from the list Owl darkens.
So I'm going to try using a mix of Owl and Stylish for making the web shady - Rated 5 out of 5by quirK, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13862806, 7 years agoLooks great on any well-designed page and my eyes hurt less. ;)
Great job! Thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by abortionparty, 7 years agoOwl is an eye-saver. It does an excellent job of making pages less tiring to look at.
One can only turn the brightness down so much. I am one who prefers dark backgrounds and themes in general because the white backgrounds with black text just burn the heck out of my eyes.
I have had no issues with this add-on/extension whatsoever and I have been using it for a long time. - Rated 5 out of 5by omar_diesel, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13840862, 7 years agoI love owl. I am 70 and white is too bright for me anymore. The problem is with sites pop ups that pop up blocker does not block, whites out the screen so you have to turn off owl to turn off pop up window then re apply owl, which is a pain. popup blocker should work in tandem with owl. Am I missing something?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13354354, 7 years agoThis extension is great but sadly it doesn't work on Firefox Nightly.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Smiling Fox, 7 years agoLike user 36c61a, I've also been using Owl for over a year now, and I really like it.
ButI I have the same problem as him/her. Settings are not implemented properly, often Owl will not use classic theme even though it is activated, it still inverts colours on videos on certain sites and the Owl icon in the url bar disappears on some sites (like reddit, youtube, etc.)
This extension always had frequent updates, but in the last months nothing. A new update with some fixes would be great! Best regards
