- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18730894, 8 days agoThis is one of the most vital and effective add-ons I've ever installed. Not every website/browser/etc has a consistent dark mode, and none handle it as well as Dark Reader. Needing to constantly research, this add-on saves my eyes at night. Even with recent changes to FireFox which temporarily hampered performance, Dark Reader quickly pushed an update and is straightforward about addressing issues. Honestly, this is probably one of the best add-ons next to an ad-blocker out there.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17903605, 9 days agoThis extension is a huge difference maker for me, and for so many people, reducing eyestrain and promoting eye health. The internet is always changing and squashing bugs is a constant battle. So thank you Dark Reader for your hard work!!!
I want to contribute some encouragement and I will contribute cash as soon as I'm able.
Edit: For users who may need to disable this on a specific website: First, go to the website where you're having issues, then open the extension menu (you should see only your active extensions). Select Dark Reader, then uncheck "Enabled for current website". The menus are different between desktop & mobile, but it's fairly easy to figure out. - Rated 4 out of 5by Sparris, 9 days agoreally a must-have addon if you don't want your retinas to be burnt to a crisp on a daily basis. i'm rating it 4/5 because it has helped me for so long, but sadly the past days its been having issues with youtube to the point where i can't have it activated at all for it.
every time i try and activate it and refresh youtube homepage, the browser is about to crash and it asks me to stop this addon specifically. when i pause the addon, it works fine and i can refresh youtube without the browser almost collapsing.
were this to be fixed, then its an easy 5/5 for me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18730218, 9 days agoNot works on Mozilla.org page. All other perfect

- Rated 5 out of 5by pt, 9 days agoTo those with v4.9.97 breaking Firefox: Just realized that the Developer's note applies to Settings on DarkReader, not Firefox. Go to the DR icon on the top of your window and choose "MORE". It is to the right of "Filter". Then choose "Default" below.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Tikitaki, 9 days agoWith last update I got blank black window and menus in firefox
Update: disabling custom theme solved my problem, thx!Developer response
posted 9 days agoPlease disable "Custom browser theme" option (More > Default or Settings > General > Custom browser theme). - Rated 1 out of 5by robomatic, 10 days agoSomething's broken with this addon, it used to work perfectly, now it's slowing down Firefox.
Please fix! - Rated 1 out of 5by anon44449999, 11 days agoused for a long time, has had performance issues over its lifespan but for ~month or so the performance is horrendous. causes most big-name websites (reddit, youtube, google) to completely seize up and load extremely slow, currently making this add-on completely unusable. i will edit the review if this gets fixed but currently this just straight up breaks your browser
- Rated 3 out of 5by kawazuchi, 11 days agoIn terms of aesthetics, the best dark mode add-on. But it slows down the browser very much, so use with caution.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18722527, 11 days agoGood... almost. For instance, it doesn't work in this very page page at addons.mozilla.org
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18726046, 11 days agoSlows Firefox to a complete stall. Can't use it anymore. Shame.
- Rated 1 out of 5by sjuul, 12 days agoWebsites load slower than far too slow. And after updates performance seems to even get worse over time instead of better. This add-on is 110% unusable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by 7ekken, 12 days agochanging to 4* after update, will go to 5 once it is functioning correctly. thanks for the update
- Rated 3 out of 5by Biotic, 12 days agoWas pretty good up until recently where it started causing FF performance to tank.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wiz Skywalker, 12 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Muppet, 12 days agoSlows down websites where dark mode is already enabled, detects darkmode enables it anyway on top of dark mode causing memory leaks to.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18724362, 12 days agoGave them benefit of the doubt for the past month, but still no fix in sight for the massive performance issues on sites like Reddit & YT, none of the filtering methods work to stop the extension from using up to 32gb of ram suddenly.
Stuck using it since there's no real good alternative. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 11099038, 13 days agoSeriously, fuck Dark Reader at this point.
I know there's ton of work put into this and all of it is free (allegedly, I haven't reviewed the GitHub repo for fishy stuff), but it often breaks, it slows down FF to a crawl (even with bonkers hardware), there's no finer tuning for websites... Something need to be done to make it more viable (and it certainly won't be me as I'm only an asshole whining about it).
Also, fuck Google and Apple, that's a freebie. - Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Alimax AL, 14 days agoWah, ini solusi terbaik di awal November 2024 karna telah mengatasi masalah saya di Browser Firefox dan Google Chrome. Dimana saya tidak perlu lagi mengatur secara manual mengubah warna text dan background saat beralih ke halaman YouTube terutama mengetik di kolom Komentar Video YouTube dan Shorts YouTube. Lalu saat beralih buka Web yg bertema gelap, masih tetap jelas kelihatan tulisan berubah putih atau warna lain yg lebih terang enak dilihat dan dibaca. Salut dan bangga dgn pembuat dan pengembang Dark Reader ini. Thank a lot.
