posted a year agoThis is a very rare bug occuring on less than 1% of visited websites. I'm currently tracking it down and refreshing the webpage is enough to fix it. Please keep in mind how much UltimaDark is experimental - Rated 5 out of 5by Andreon, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Curtiola, 3 years agoEdit: It is indeed fixed, score updated, thanks dev!
Old:
- Breaks a lot of websites, even Github, not the biggest problem since some broken sites have their own dark mode.
- Needs "Add to whitelist" & "Remove from whitelist" buttons instead of manual copy & paste. Or a toggle like the add-on Dark Reader.
- The Icon itself needs to have an alternate colour, the crescent moon is the exact same as my firefox skin, rendering it invisible. A Light Grey circle background or something. - Rated 5 out of 5by Othique, 3 years agoTHANK YOU! For creating this. I know that Dark Mode is purely aesthetic for some people, however because I am light sensitive. This is a freekin life-saver. Don't even care that I might have to whitelist some pages to keep them from breaking... This is worth it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13707739, 4 years agoUltimaDark has the potential to be the best dark-theme add-on (ever). I'm using the word "potential" just because now UltimaDark is in "experimental stage". But the Dev is very active and responsive, and he is working very hard to improve the add-on, and to add new features. Progress can be followed at Dev' GitHub.
Yesterday the ON/OFF was included (among other improvements). And white-listing is already on the way. Other features are planned, and surely with time we're going to see great new stuff.
Most of the webpages work great with this add-on. And only few webpages have issues (but currently the Dev is working on it, trying to fix everything). It's worth mentioning that is impossible to build the perfect dark-theme add-on. Lot of webpages are badly programmed, and it's not easy to deal with them. Every dark-theme add-on has imperfections.
IMHO UltimaDark is great firstly because its browser performance (webpages have a good loading speed). And secondly, this add-on has very nice aesthetic results. In brief, this add-on is great for the relation: "Browser Performance" VS "Aesthetic results".
Thank you and congratulations to the Dev! - Rated 4 out of 5by ForeFix, 4 years agoIt seems to work well, with good performance overall, but it indeed breaks some websites. That why it needs a exceptions list feature (if possible with smart segments of url, like: whitelisting .example.com' , 'example.com/subcategorypages' or "subdomainonly.example.com' ), and maybe for later, alternative methods to darken the pages (simple inverse filter, CSS) if the main one doesn't work as expected.
Also, it'd be cool to let the browser highlight with a different color visited links.
Encouragement to the dev!Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi ForeFIx, i added the exceptions list feature, you may want to check the latest version :)
I still don't know yet if i will add alternative methods to darken pages because the very first idea of this addon was to calc a true dark mode for each website (the opposite of setting defaults values or inverting the whole website); but i may change my mind
It still breaks some websites as the code is still experimental
