- Rated 5 out of 5by Killerwhale7, 6 years agoPros: simple, well arranged, has options, no lags, doesn't use much cpu/memory.
Not enough color options, would be great if you'll add more, like the url (right now it's light green). It sticks out in google search results.
As with any other extension, it doesn't work well on all sites. For example, in https://www.oddsshark.com/ufc/odds logos are blacked out.
Almost everyone uses Chrome, so you'll have 10 times more users of your extension because there's still no adequate one for Chrome.
If you'll make this extension for Chrome, please put a link here or send it to kroatov@gmail.com
Thanks for response.Developer response
posted 6 years agoWhich color options do you miss?
There is no Chrome version. The code is almost ready, it's possible to build Chrome version from source code with minor changes but due to lack of time and interest (from me) it may take some time until port will be ready.
You can subscribe to this issue https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-background-light-text-extension/issues/99 to be notified about Chrome port progress.
UPD: if you mean url color in google search results, it's not URL, I mean, it's not html "a" tag, it's just text which has originally green color. Extension just makes it lighter to make it readable on dark background. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14266155, 6 years agoit's a nice tool for me because my eye is comfortable with dark contrast always

- Rated 5 out of 5by r4wb0Ss, 6 years agoOne of the best and most versatile dark mode extensions out there.
- Rated 5 out of 5by WAZAAAAA, 6 years agoThis is simply the greatest browser addon after ad blockers and the undisputed king of all "universal dark theme" addons.

- Rated 4 out of 5by gooly , 7 years agoI like it very much - but there is one little flaw. :(
The scroll bar on the right side for up and down is hard to see as it is too bright if the mouse is not there!
So one has to search it each time you want to scroll up or down :(
Another problem exists with local web pages!
On one hand I see as selectable options: null, null/C:, null/C:/Users, null/C:/Users/cas ...
But none of these options being selected changes anything?
On the other hand I see the menu from: Disabled to Default but again none seems of them is selectable - at least the page is black.
Finally under Global Preferences I found null at the end and there was simple CSS defined but it wasn't applied (in this case foreground would be silver not bright white) applied was the default setting which wasn't changed. - Rated 5 out of 5by ForeFix, 7 years agoAfter a lot of tests of other similar extensions, I find this one particularly well done, that's why i'm leaving this review. I love that it handles clicked links (different color once visited), contrarily to most of the other similar addons. I only found one doing this, and it's not open source, with less options. Here, you can choose several methods of darkening, and apply them to different part of the same website or domain (if the global setting breaks only some pages), by URL segments (domain, website, page, subpages, etc). I've not found this depth of settings in other addons. The customization of colors for different elements is easy and when some could say it's not as "fancy" as other addons, the interface is very clear and intuitive. And I also like that it is open source.
Developer, really well done. Your extension is the closest to perfection for what it does, imo.
Could you check if there is a way to darken the menu of firefox (left-click one, and when opening a folder of favorites in the favorites bar)? I'm afraid it's a limitation in Firefox Quantum, if you can't do anything about it, i totally understand. You have my 5 stars anyway :)
Edit: thanks for the reply and advice! I already have the dark themes enabled, I'll have to wait until Mozilla expand it to these areas of their browser.
Edit 2: oh, high contrast. Brutal, but indeed it works. Thank you for the tip! ;)Developer response

It's not possible to do this from an add-on. But I recommend you to 1) set Firefox theme to "Dark", 2) select dark theme in your OS (Windows: left Shift + left Alt + Print Screen, Linux: pick your favorite dark GTK 3 theme, for example, Adwaita Dark, macOS: you have to wait for Mojave).
UPD: the rest is rendered by your OS. So, see above. - Rated 4 out of 5by Abboot, 7 years agoНу наконец-то! изменяет цвета даже в локальных сохранённых страницах. Не хватает возможность хранить несколько пользовательских тем. Спасибо автору!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14188103, 7 years agoРаботает как в простых страницах типа google translate так и в сложных как Slack или Facebook! :)
Легкая интуитивная настройка схемы. Единственно - мне не хватило выбора из нескольких заданных схем. Но может не нашел в настройках? В итоге изменил ту что была по умолчанию на менее контрастную.
Пользоваться можно! Спасибо автору!
Thank you autor! Very well application!
