User reviews

Users generally find Dark Mode - Night Eye effective, easy to use, and helpful for reducing eye strain during night browsing. However, multiple reviews complain about the mandatory subscription model after a trial period, which many feel is overpriced or poorly disclosed. The Firefox version lacks some customization features found on other browsers, and some isolated bugs exist. Overall, the extension is well-liked for functionality but criticized for its pricing strategy and transparency.

Pros

Effectively enables dark mode on many websites, improving browsing comfort especially at night or in low light.
Easy to use with a seamless implementation that many users appreciate.
Helps reduce eye strain and is ideal for night-time browsing or meetings with multiple screens.
Allows setting default light or dark modes and managing exceptions for specific sites.
Generally reliable with few problems, and issues that arise are fixed quickly.

Cons

Switch to a paid subscription model after a free trial, which many users dislike and find expensive relative to its function.
Lack of transparency about pricing and payment requirements prior to download frustrates users.
Limited customization options on Firefox compared to Chrome version, such as missing contrast or brightness controls.
Some users report the free version does not work as expected or is limited to very few sites, reducing usefulness without payment.
Bug affecting certain sites like 4chan where dark mode shows hidden spoiler text, though this seems isolated.

Recent reviews

Recently updated to be only a trial, with either a one-time payment or a subscription to continue use. Since the user has to configure it for most non-major websites, and most major websites are integrating dark mode for free, this really doesn't seem worth the price, especially for an accessibility tool. A donation button would be perfectly fine

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dark Mode - Night Eye requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
