Features & Capabilities

Dark Mode Website Switcher is a Firefox extension that forces websites to use their dark color schemes by default, regardless of your system's theme settings. It utilizes the CSS prefers-color-scheme media feature to invert or change website colors without needing to alter your whole system style. You can toggle dark mode on and off with a customizable keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+B) or via a toolbar button displaying a yellow moon icon when enabled.

Designed for Firefox version 95 and higher, this extension supports websites that offer a dark mode, making browsing easier on your eyes, especially in low-light environments. The add-on is open-source and lightweight, requiring minimal permissions, and can be found on GitHub for contributions. Test it on popular sites like WebKit.org and Emojipedia.org to see the dark mode in action.

User Reviews

Overall this add-on is useful for development and testing and is appreciated for applying dark mode via the prefers-color-scheme standard. However, users repeatedly report issues: no per-site/domain controls (global only); inconsistent behavior across sites or sites where only the settings page darkens; conflicts with privacy features like resistFingerprinting; and occasional site breaks or failures on local/static pages. Many requests include a domain whitelist/blacklist or separate modes; reliability and granularity improvements would greatly boost usefulness.

Pros

Helps with development and testing; a time-saver for web work.
Uses prefers-color-scheme (standard) instead of inverting colors.
Generally easy to use with a simple global switch; works as described when it functions.
Positive feedback on Firefox/Linux performance and reliability in many cases.

Cons

No per-site/domain controls; global switch only.
Inconsistent behavior across sites; some pages don't darken or only the settings page works.
Can conflict with privacy features like resistFingerprinting; may require disabling.
Occasional site breaks or failures on local/static pages (and some sites like watchnebula.com).
Requests for per-domain lists/whitelisting/blacklisting or separate modes to apply dark mode only to selected sites.

It works as stated but I need and had thought it had per-site settings, not just global switch for all sites (that support it). Also I know google voice has a dark mode (as seen on my other computer with windows in dark mode) but this doesn't seem to trigger it for some reason. Other sites including one of my own switches perfectly.

Unfortunately the only page this worked on was the settings page. I wanted this to make the woeful OneNote online dark mode instead of light mode but didn't work :(

Is Dark Mode Website 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 Website Switcher does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Dark Mode Website Switcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
