User reviews

Users appreciate Dark Mode for enabling a global dark theme that works even on sites unsupported by rivals, improving readability with dark backgrounds. However, multiple issues arise: aggressive color inversion harms readability on certain pages; it breaks website functionality in services like Google Docs and captcha pages; lacks easy site-specific settings or whitelisting; interface and settings are not user-friendly; and developer inactivity leads to unresolved bugs and compatibility regressions. Despite flaws, it remains favored by some for general dark mode needs.
Pros
  • Effectively converts websites to dark themes, providing a global dark mode.
  • Works on some sites that other dark mode extensions do not support.
  • Has different dark modes/styles, with some preferred by users.
  • Improves readability by reducing brightness and using dark backgrounds.
  • Generally easy to use once set up.
Cons
  • Inverts colors indiscriminately, causing issues on sites with already dark elements by making them unreadable.
  • Breaks functionality on some websites, including issues with Google Docs, reCaptcha, Cloudflare captcha, and image opening in new tabs.
  • Lacks adequate site-based customization and whitelist functionality, making global toggling inconvenient.
  • User interface and settings are not intuitive; hard to access or modify key features like dark mode styles or exclude lists.
  • Developer support is poor or inactive, and updates can cause regression or break compatibility with popular sites.
