User reviews

Users praise this Dark Mode Edge add-on for its speed, reliability, and better webpage compatibility compared to alternatives like Dark Reader. It effectively reduces eye strain with soft dark colors and has a simple interface allowing easy toggling per site. However, multiple users note issues like a flashing white screen before dark mode activates, occasional need to manually re-enable on certain webpages, some harsh or overly dark displays on content, and minor discoloration. Privacy concerns about browsing history access have also been raised by some users.

Pros

Much faster and less performance issues compared to other dark mode extensions.
Better webpage compatibility, fewer bugs like disappearing elements than alternatives such as Dark Reader.
Allows easy toggling or whitelisting for individual pages via a simple interface.
Reduces eye strain with softer dark mode colors (deep gray rather than pure black).
Simple, straightforward interface and functionality that works reliably on many sites.

Cons

Flash of white (flashing effect) before switching to dark mode, which can be harsh on eyes.
Some websites require manual reactivation of the extension to properly apply dark mode (e.g., Baidu top section).
Dark mode can be too sharp or dark on some pages, making some content hard to see.
Discoloration of some elements occurs, leading to slightly off colors or white shadows on elements' borders.
Privacy concern raised over the extension accessing browsing history for some features.

It is definitely not perfect, but it is SO MUCH FASTER than all the other options. I almost pulled my hair out after trying to use some of the other dark mode extensions and deleted them and came back to this.
