Recent reviews

Won't work smoothly on current Github, large white areas on some repositories, and dark text on dark on left menu, that you can't read... for instance on the archon github, try to see .md on github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk/blob/master/archon.md The support Github link in Assistance is totally inexistent, and refers to another developer (poychang) that has not made this extension.

This extension prevents twitch.tv from remembering your theme setting, defaulting to light theme. If you use twitch, don't use this extension.

Colin C., 2021-12-06

This is better than native dark mode of Github. But needs a small update so that title bar was also black. Everything else is great.
