- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12495010, 7 years agoNo so bad. Need to do less dark color for background, for instance, a gray, because don't visible a lot of detailes
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13730140, 7 years agoI have been using owl for a few years now. I some fairly severe visual problems, to the point where if I didn't have this extension, I wouldn't be able to consistently use a computer. So I definitely really like this extension, but after upgrading to firefox 58, I have had some problems.
After upgrading to firefox 58, it seems that owl is ignoring the settings for which sites I have enabled the classic theme and for which sites I have disabled owl. Looking at my settings, the settings page for owl in fact indicates that owl is disabled on page "x", but when I go to page "x" owl will not be disabled. Same thing happens for the classic theme settings.
I am not sure why this is happening. Perhaps firefox 58 changed something in the web extensions api?
I really enjoy this extension and would like to see it return to how things were before firefox 58. Please let me know if you need any information from me to help debug this issue. Thank you.
Also, as a side issue, ever since the web extensions version of owl, I no longer have the settings panel, just a button that toggles owl on and off? Was the panel removed?Developer response
posted 7 years agoHi,
Thanks for using Owl for such a long time. I imagine you are one of the first few users when I initially published this extension. The WebExtensions API has certainly brought some changes has caused a few thing to break here and there. First, the Owl panel had to be moved to the URL bar since the new API doesn't allow both drop-down and clickable add-on buttons. I tried to find a way to bring back the old interface but couldn't. As for the settings being ignored issue, does refreshing the webpage help? It is observed that Owl fails in first attempt but works when the page refreshes. I'm currently working to fix this. In case you find any more issues or would like to make more suggestions, please feel free to get in touch at owl@sidhant.io or open an issue on Github (https://github.com/CptFoobar/Owl/issues). - Rated 5 out of 5by Adérito Silva, 7 years ago

Recommended - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13661951, 7 years agoI love the perfect design of this application!! It does turn black the white backgrounds reducing the horrible strain that causes white light, but the images and letters keep their format so well I'm impressed. Everything reads and looks perfect, thank you so much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dave Voyles, 7 years agoWorks as advertised! Simply hit one button, and inverts the color scheme from white to black. Very easy on my eyes.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Nacon, 7 years agoThis does work well, however, depending on some websites, it would invert colors on HTML5 videos and YouTube videos on fullscreen mode.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13645185, 7 years agoVery great extension but it seems on some pages there is a bug.
Like https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media-apps/mediabuttons.html
When i turn on Owl, a Survey dialog from that site appears and when i turn off own it would hide!!
Please check it, other than that everything is fine, thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Fran, 7 years agoWorks super well, just as good as Dark Reader for chrome and way better than light text, dark background. I just wish it was available for Firefox android!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kiril, 7 years agoIt's the best darkening plugin I've used. Only minor things like floating windows become static (ex: https://fonts.google.com)... Overall, the best.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13554259, 7 years agoI find this very useful. There are only a couple of fixes I would like to see in the future:
1) In Facebook, with Owl enabled, the small Messenger window is rendered useless because it doesn't stay in place. The top Facebook bar also doesn't stay in place. And it is impossible to go to the top of the page with keyboard commands -- only by scrolling up with the mouse.
2) In Youtube, with Owl enabled, videos are somewhat choppy. In fullscreen, or with Owl disabled, they run smoothly.
I hope these problems are fixed, so that Owl becomes even better. Thank you. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13506854, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13492268, 7 years agoThe darkened websites are very easy on the eyes. I can't figure out how to disable Owl on some sites, but leave it enabled on others.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mehmet Atif Ergun, 7 years agoWorks as described. No more migraines :) Wish it was available for Firefox for Android as well.
