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.
