## Review summary

The Force Dark Mode add-on is valued for bringing a dark viewing mode to sites lacking native support and reducing eye strain, with users especially praising its ease of use and quick keyboard activation. However, several reviews report image and media rendering problems (including darkened images and negative video previews), and some sites may not render correctly. A notable minority raise security concerns, labeling the extension as a trojan or data-collector. A few users also request adjustable darkness levels. Overall, it’s useful but comes with reliability and security caveats that vary by site.

### Pros

- Provides dark mode for websites that lack built-in dark mode
- Reduces glare from bright white backgrounds, improving readability
- Supports quick activation with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + comma)
- Simple and fast to use on many sites

### Cons

- Image/video rendering issues under certain settings (e.g., video negatives when Preserve images/videos is on, darkened or blob-like images)
- Can be too dark on some sites; users want adjustable darkness or color controls
- Security concerns / allegations of password trojan and data collection
- May occasionally break certain page elements (e.g., thumbnails) on some sites
