Can you implement an auto-dark mode? Called "follow system theme" or something similar as an option, which automatically switches to a different [Preconfigured Display Format] whenever the System theme is changed. - Rated 4 out of 5by Kuromaku, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16024671, 2 years ago"Hide Images -> Never" not working for the top image of NYtimes.com articles (first picture element in webpage). I installed the addon precisely for that website...
Also, it would be good if the icon context menu had a direct link to the Options. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12932778, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12849453, 4 years agoLove the concept. Only immediate suggestion is that the dark mode Annotation colour is diabolical...i just set it to the same as background colour (#333333)...fixed....
- Rated 4 out of 5by christopher bronowski, 5 years agoTo be honest it hasn't been long enough. If you don't edit video all the time I say it's great so far. The content I produce is all over the place so I want to see if it reacts to insane content and if it plays tricks on how I think it will export. Basically see how it handles chaos and movement. i'll report back in and hour or a day.

- Rated 4 out of 5by xerus, 5 years agoWorks, but why would I use it over Firefox' inbuilt Reader Mode?
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for the feedback.
TLDR; For users that are happy with the built in Reader Mode, there is no need to use this extension.
This extension was first created in 2012 when there was no built in Reader Mode in Firefox.
Once Reader Mode was introduced in Firefox, for a while the listing description of this extension encouraged readers to first try the builtin Reader Mode and use this extension only if/when the user is not satisfied with Reader Mode.
Reader Mode works on on web pages that have an "article" tag (to the best of my knowledge) -- it is not enabled on pages that don't have an article tag. This extension works on pages even without an article tag.
There are always some pages where this extension does a better job that Reader Mode; and the converse also holds true.
Here are some of the additional features that are available that some users like:
(1) Finer ability to customize fonts, font size, reading width, background color etc.
(2) Ability to save pages locally for offline reading (and to add annotations/notes to offline articles); export/import such pages (as opposed to using an online service like Pocket)
(3) "Continuous browsing mode" -- when in the transformed view, clicking on a link will automatically take you to the transformed version of the page referred to in the link
Refer to the extension listing for more features.
