Review summary

Users repeatedly praise Firelux for reducing eye strain, preserving site colors (better than alternatives), and having responsive developer support. Common problems reported by multiple users are occasional sudden failures/crashes and YouTube compatibility issues (blank video or blocked Picture-in-Picture). Overall feedback is strongly positive but tempered by reliability and video-site compatibility concerns.

Pros

Reduces eye strain and makes browsing more comfortable (several users said it helped their eyes)
Preserves website colors with minimal distortion compared with other dark-mode extensions (explicitly preferred over Dark Reader)
Active, responsive developer support—users praised the author’s responsiveness and fixes
Good substitute when switching from Chrome to Firefox; users say it works well as a replacement for similar extensions

Cons

Occasionally stops working or crashes unexpectedly (multiple reports of it suddenly failing)
Compatibility issues with YouTube — reports of blank video display (on Nightly) and interference with Picture-in-Picture

2024-05-04	lo*****	I need that function that like click on the extension icon with the mouse wheel, it turns on/off "Activate for this site". --- And for the "list of ignored websites" to synchronize between Linux and Windows, because it doesn't exist now. --- Oh, and also "disable on known dark mode sites", which adds automatic detection of dark mode in as many sites as possible, and in a new tab with an open image/video/sound. --- Detection of `#firefox-screenshots-preselection-iframe` element on the page. This element appears on the page when I use "Take Screenshot", Firefox's built-in page screenshot tool. Once detected, firelux2 should automatically temporarily disable on this page to prevent the screen from changing colors. Sometimes I forget to turn off firelux2 before taking a screenshot, and then I have to take it again... This should be an option, because maybe someone wants the colors on the screenshot to be changed? --- Is there a chance for this?
