User reviews

Users appreciate the Dark Mode Edge add-on for its simplicity, reliability, and broad compatibility with many websites, providing comfortable eye strain relief at night. Its good customization features stand out, though some find the site inclusion options limited. However, the dark mode sometimes merely inverts colors, making text hard to read on certain sites. There are occasional issues with compatibility, notably on Bing and the Microsoft Store, and some sites experience styling disruptions when the extension is active.

Pros

Works on almost every site with good customization options.
Simple and functional toggle button for activating dark mode.
Does not interfere with the functionality of important sites like WordPress editor or SmugMug.
Provides a comfortable viewing experience at night, reducing eye strain.
Reliable and works smoothly compared to other similar extensions.

Cons

Dark mode implementation sometimes only switches black and white, causing readability issues due to light gray text on some websites.
Customization options for adding included sites are limited; cannot add specific subpages or paths (e.g., edge.com/browser).
Does not work on certain platforms like Microsoft Store and Bing (some users report non-functionality).
Can mess with the styling of some websites, making them difficult to use.

very nice

It works but it is literally only switching black and white around. It makes the main website I use unusable. It turned black text to white and very light gray making it hard to read. I get dark modes because it doesn't hurt my brain like the white does. Sure, it gets rid of that but creates the issue of being unable to read.

Needed to view dark mode on a company internal webpage for my own sanity. Works perfectly. Theme defaults are not amazing, but functional.
