User reviews

Users appreciate Material Dark Theme for its clean, minimalist design, excellent color combination, and clear active tab indication, making it one of the best dark themes available. However, multiple users mention readability problems in the address bar and bookmarks bar after Chrome updates, with text colors blending into the background. The downloading status text visibility is also a common issue. Overall, it's highly favored but could improve text contrast in some UI elements.
