- Rated 5 out of 5by refineria, 2 years agoThanks! This Switcher is such a great help during web development. Until I found this extension, I used to transfer files to my android device to see the effects of dark and light mode user choice.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ReelButter, 3 years agoThis helped a bunch... Was getting black screen over and over. It says, "This add-on is not actively monitored" I hope that is not a bad thing but overall... This helped a bunch...
Thanks for the info rugk... I'll take your word for it... This really helped a LOT... ;-)Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi ReelButter,
thanks for your rating. It's great to hear that you like the add-on. 😀
The warning that the extension “is not actively monitored” is just a warning of Mozilla that explains the extension is not part of their suggested and extra-strongly vetted add-ons. See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/add-on-badges for more information.
However all add-ons are verified by Mozilla partly in an automated or manual way, see https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/signing-and-distribution-overview/#post-submission-review for details about that.
Anyway, as for this extension, you can be sure it is not malicious, because you can also check it's source code at https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher.
I hope this explanation helped and continue to have fun using the extension.
Best regards,

posted 3 years agoHi, and thanks for your rating. I'm sorry that you are apparently having a problem with the add-on.
From what I can tell, this might be a problem with Firefox' configuration. Do you, by chance, enabled `privacy.resistFingerprinting` or have any other add-on or used some Firefox tweaking tool or similar that could have set that option?
To check that, please open a new tab and go to `about:config`. If there is a warning, accept that. Then enter `privacy.resistFingerprinting` there. If it is enabled, then please disable it by double-clicking on it.
The problem is that for privacy reasons, Firefox overrides the dark mode when that option is set, because obviously it can be read by websites and thus be one bit used for tracking purposes. This is a known issue and nothing this add-on can influence. Please have a look at https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher/issues/22 for more information.
Similarly this option forces the user agent to be a specific version and that might be an older Firefox version, so just ignore the version warning.
If you continue to have problems with that, it would be very nice if you could report this bug on https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/issues/ or the linked issue above, so we can deal with it. Thanks.
Let us know if this helped by adjusting your voting.
Apart from that, if you have any other ideas or issues, feel free to get in touch.
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by T.H., 3 years agoWorks flawlessly in Firefox on Kubuntu. This extension is a huge time-saver during development. Thank you!
- Rated 4 out of 5by derpherp, 3 years agoIt's great that it uses an established standard (prefers-color-scheme) instead of naively inverting colors like some other add-ons.
For some reason though, it doesn't work when testing a static site locally, even though the global system toggle does.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi,
Thanks for your rating. It's great to hear that you like the add-on. 😀
If I understand you correctly, you seem to have an issue with forcing the dark mode for static local files.
As far as I know and what I would say without having a deeper look into it, this should theoretically work.
Thus, to troubleshoot this issue, we'd need more information about your system (i.e. what OS and what Firefox version do you use?). It would be glad if you could open an issue on https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher and fill out the details there, so we can fix this problem in the next release.
Any help is clearly always appreciated.
Best regards,

posted 4 years agoHallo,
vielen Dank für deine Bewertung.
Ich verstehe dich so, dass das Add-on einige Websites nicht schwarz zu machen scheint.
Bitte beachte, dass das Add-on nicht für alle Websites funktioniert, sondern nur für diejenigen, die es unterstützen.
Dies ist leider eine technische Einschränkung. Für mehr Informationen siehe die Beschreibung des Add-ons.
Wenn dies geholfen hat, würde es mich freuen, wenn du deine Bewertung anpassen kannst.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
rugk

Hi,
thanks for your rating.
I understand you to say that the add-on does not seem to make some websites black.
Please notice the add-on does not work for all websites, but only the ones that support it.
This is unfortunately a technical limitation. Please see the add-on description.
If this helped, it would be glad if you could adjust your voting.
Best regards,

posted 4 years agoHi,
Thanks for your rating. It's great to hear that you like the add-on.
I see, however, that you are having a problem with some sites and I'd like to apologize for that. Unfortunately, some sites may always cause issues.
I'm about to release a new version of the add-on, which improves compatibility for some sites. Maybe it helps you too.
If you have further issues or questions or the issue stays unresolved, feel free to ask or suggest a feature by opening an issue on https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher/. Thanks.
Again I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If you want, you could try out a development version on GitHub and adjust your rating.
Best regards,

- Rated 1 out of 5by Alek Lunhaj Tanir, 5 years agoI want web page to darker only specific domain, not for all as default. So it needs a list to dark color for the linked page- which is listed. And others all are non-darkened. And edited next:
Thank you for reply. Huge number of domains can visit by users. Yes, users who wants it always switching on/off for any site with their white list. And but some request is nearly same-that is, which users never need to use this darker software. But only for (suppose-) facebook, instagram, twitter, gmail, example.com1 ,2, and 3 (this 7 domains). He/she needs the list up. So two mode/group for list: 1)white list-not to darken & 2) Off mode- to perform darkening(for listed up) when switched off. And here, can disable option also be set.
Then users can disable extension or delete list as needs. I am all right? And this have issued there I just now- https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher/issues/12#issue-470811327Developer response
posted 5 years agoYes, this should be possible.
If you want to suggest this as a feature for the add-on, please do so on GitHub at https://github.com/rugk/website-dark-mode-switcher and open a new issue.
Remember, however, that this add-on can only ever darken web pages when these pages actually support it, as described in the add-on description.
If this helped, it would be glad if you could adjust your voting.
