User reviews

Simple Night Mode is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and minimal impact on system resources. It works seamlessly on many websites, including Google Docs, without requiring page reloads and preserves original images. However, users commonly criticize its bright neon green font color, lack of customization options such as whitelists, and occasional issues with invisible elements or conflicts with other extensions. Overall, it is considered one of the better night mode extensions but could benefit from more customization features.

Pros

Simple and effective night mode, easy to toggle on and off with one click.
Works well across many websites without interfering with their default dark themes.
Low CPU usage and lightweight performance.
Does not invert images, preserving their original appearance.
Functions without needing page reload, works even on Google Docs, unlike many other similar extensions.

Cons

Cannot customize font colors; neon green text is disliked by multiple users and is hard on the eyes at night.
Some website elements or images may become invisible or masked when night mode is enabled.
Lacks options such as whitelist/blacklist to exclude certain sites from being affected.
Does not darken certain parts like the top bar, and conflicts with some other night mode extensions (e.g., RES).

I like it, the only thing I don't like about it is it removes any pictures anywhere. Still pretty good though.

It is so simple and can work separately on each tab does not mess other websites (like facebook, or google, or twitter which already have their own dark option theme ) especially when you set it to one single click, it is what I have been looking for for while.
