## Review summary

Users like the add-on’s dark styling and effectiveness on the new Reddit (and occasionally on old.reddit after updates). Major recurring problems are unreliable old.reddit support, incomplete theming (sidebar/other elements left white), and occasional UI breakages or inconsistent behavior after updates.

### Pros

- Provides a dark theme for Reddit’s interface (several users say it works well on the new Reddit).
- Many users find the styling attractive and overall useful — multiple positive comments calling it a good/great extension.
- For some users it works where general-purpose dark-mode extensions fail, and some report old.reddit compatibility after a developer update.

### Cons

- Frequently reported lack of reliable support for old.reddit.com (multiple complaints it didn’t work there).
- Incomplete or inconsistent theming: some UI areas remain white (sidebars) or not fully adjusted, per several reviews.
- Can cause usability problems for some users (broken dropdowns, invisible vote icons reported) and behavior varies across updates — some updates fix issues while others introduce new ones.
