User reviews

This Dark Mode extension is appreciated for enabling dark themes and customization without ads, helping users seeking darker browsing experiences. However, multiple users report that it often just inverts colors leading to poor visual quality, breaks website layouts, and causes performance problems including conflicts with Cloudflare verification. While it works well on some sites, overall reliability and compatibility issues limit its usefulness compared to other dark mode solutions.

Pros

Effectively applies a dark mode to many websites, improving browsing comfort.
Allows customization and custom rules for better user control.
Simple and free to use without intrusive ads or links.
Enjoyed by users accustomed to dark themes across their browsing experience.
Works well on certain sites and provides native color display improvements.

Cons

Tends to invert colors rather than provide a true dark mode, leading to unnatural visuals.
Causes performance issues on some devices, slowing down laptops significantly.
Breaks or drastically alters website layouts and CSS, including important sites like the Chrome Web Store.
Creates compatibility issues with Cloudflare verification, causing endless loops.
Poor functionality or failure to work properly on many websites, requiring troubleshooting and sometimes removal.

Recent reviews

It makes embedded videos unwatchable. To be useful for me it would have ignore videos and apply the dark mode to the rest of the website. Until than back to 'Dark Reader'

Gute App um Pages direkt im Darkmode anzuzeigen. Leider etwas verbuggt gewesen. Hab die App nun seit langen mal wieder installiert. Sie tut genau was sie soll. Die Nativen Farben anzeigen. Top! Danke dafür!
