- Rated 4 out of 5by Shy, 5 years agoI really like the dark background theme however I have found it really slows down the FF Browser. I would like to be able to just enable it when I want, but I haven't figured out how to do this. I'm probably missing the instructions that are right in front of my face. At any rate, I like the dark background but I'm removing it for now because of how it slows down the browser.
- Rated 4 out of 5by john joe, 5 years agoit exactly works like the name. it's lightweight and does one thing great! although dark reader has better looking options, it's 10 times as bigger and i consider it bloated.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Noober, 5 years agoIs there an extension which can change background colour for New Tab? Every time I open a new blank tab it is so white that my eyes hurt :((( Instead of white i would like black or grey.
- Rated 4 out of 5by 00-Schneider, 5 years ago***** dafür das ich meine gewohnten Farben genau einstellen kann.
* dafür das alles von Mozilla mich nun weiß blendet, nicht nur die Startseite sondern auch alle Webseiten und Foren. Bekommt man dafür die "Official-Add-on Plakette"? Buuuuh, ich bitte um etwas mehr Kampfgeist.. - Rated 5 out of 5by amir, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by me, 5 years agoeats ram like crazy. virtual swap file uses 26+ Gb of memory. ubuntu 16.04. ff86 when i kill process the memory frees and add-on stops working. when is firefox going to fix their bright white blue light f-u and your eyes display for web pages? why are we forced to use addons like this that jam up my laptop to reduce the pain caused by these 'look directly into the sun'' webpages? why don't more websites provide night or less eyeball shredding versions of their pages? and why does this addon need so much ram?

- Rated 4 out of 5by kch, 5 years agoFairly nice and working well. I have been enjoying using it. One improvement which I would appreciate is that way it renders text/search fields & icon links. Now it is often wrapped with a white border with rounded corners and does not match back to the interface of some websites (e.g. DuckDuckGo, social media sharing icons). It also disable/hide some icon links (e.g. on Medium when trying to clap hands or saving an article, icon buttons on the left) and emoji display (on Facebook posts).
- Rated 1 out of 5by joefiesta, 5 years agoEdit 20200628: Okay, time to get rid of this add-on. It breaks more and more sites all the time. Worse is, you don't know if the web site is broken or what!
Edit, 20200618: This addon BREAKS Paypal. It is certainly not nice to break a financial webpage. At Paypal I receive the message "Sorry about that! Looks like this action is not supported. Please return and report this error so that we support it in the future. (invalid client_id or redirect_url)". The error occurs when checking out an item on Ebay and selecting Paypay payment method.
This addon is good at what it does. However:
1. it is VERY SLOW, I find it much better than other "eye-saving" or "dark screening" addons. It's coloring options are much more comprehensive and it handles subtle shades of gray from the original web page well. (These often become indistinguishable with these addons.)
2. It breaks many pages
3. It needs a hotkey to disable/enable the current page. There are just too many things that become invisible too often.
4. The list of disabled pages needs to be sorted alphabetically.
5. The options page needs some cleanup and better explanation of what the options do.
Note: I was running FF 68. With that, I discovered DBLT (dark background light text) breaks the Zoom Page WE addon. Upgraded to FF74 and problem solved (with quick help from DBLT author!). - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15734302, 5 years ago
