Made an account just to leave this review, which is long overdue. This add-on enables me to use almost any website effortlessly while healing from debilitating photosensitivity. I simply could not have used most of my favorite websites for the last year without it. Any bugs that might arise from other sites updating are SWIFTLY addressed by the developer and with transparency for all users. The dev tools under the hood are robust, and so any site with niche use cases for my personal needs are also accessible. I wish I could throw money at the dev for providing an invaluable tool for so many people, working tirelessly to uphold its quality, and helping so many of us use the internet without pain. I hope this review, and the hundreds of people I have recommended this app to (many of which are abled but just enjoy reduced eyestrain now!!!), can be the next best thing!

The best browser add-on I've ever seen

La mejor extension para esta funcion.

Absolutely essential for me to use the web. Works out of the box on 97% of websites and is easily configured to work or temporarily disabled on the other 3%.

Dark Reader is a cool tool for those, who prefer to read the web in a dark environment. It offers to change websites to a dark version, that otherwise do not offer the option. But if a site does offer already a dark theme, Dark Reader offers users to opt out from altering an already dark site to it's dark version. It is also possible to disable darkening sites all together. The preview interface (which I can't wait to see fully implemented) also support dynamic switching to a dark theme.

The author faces many uphill battle to support this add-on, and the fact that they still provide support despite all the backlash is more astonishing then anything. May be biased myself, it definitely deserves a positive rating.

Is it fixed? I keep getting crashes, and I can't click or move anything. I'll return the 5-star rating if it's fixed.

Dark reader works very well for almost all websites, and I don't like browsing the web without it for websites that don't have a built-in dark theme. I don't like burning my eyes.

Je n'ai jamais eu rien à redire depuis que je l'utilise, c'est-à-dire + de 5 ans, mais depuis la récente mise à jour, je ne peux plus utiliser Dark Reader pour naviguer dans les menus, barre latérale et personnelle de Firefox. Ça rend tout noir, seul quelques icônes restent visibles.

EDIT : problème désormais résolut ^^

Completely breaks Firefox and Firefox even tells me that the extension is slowing down my browser. It makes websites completely unusable for a few minutes each time a page loads.. Please fix this.

latest version breaks my firefox, I am reverting to previous version for now.

Cheers to the developer team for keeping us updated with the issues the latest FF update caused. Been using this extension for years both at home and at work and it's saved my eyes and sanity. Cheers, guys!

4.9.99 destroys Firefox more than it does good despite the tips cited below. I went back to 4.9.98 and everything is back to normal. You need to review your copy.

The best dark reader extension available - outstanding work! Ignore the recent 1-star reviews about Reddit's website - the bug was introduced by a recent update by Reddit itself, and the Dark Reader developers quickly worked to address the issue.
If you're a (long-time) user of this incredible tool, please consider supporting the developers through a donation to help them continue their fantastic work. It's discouraging (and counterproductive) to see users who have benefited from Dark Reader for years suddenly leaving negative reviews at the first sign of a problem, instead of reaching out to the developers or checking for updates first.
