User Reviews

This plugin works great. I think adding a new "toggle domain (in the list)" button would be a good idea.
by Do*****, 2025-11-07

Darkening effects are very good, but the white flash at the start of page loading is unpleasant. Looks like the loading speed of the add-on is a bit slower. Also, instead of a simple click on the "Add" button to add the current domain to the exclusion list, I have to manually input the domain to the text box before clicking the "Add" button, which is not very convenient. P.S. It would be great if the add-on can apply darkening effect based on the color of the page (some pages are already dark and should not be inverted)

Is Dark Mode Switcher Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dark Mode Switcher requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
