User reviews
Night Mode for Wikipedia is praised for its good contrast, ease of use, and effective darkening of the screen without ads, making it better than Wikipedia's own dark mode for casual readers. However, users report issues with frequent crashes, page reloads, incompatibility with Wikipedia editing features and gadgets, and unreadable math images. Some note a peculiar yellow tint to the text. Overall, it is a functional extension suited mostly for reading rather than editing Wikipedia.
Pros
- Provides good contrast and readable dark mode, better than Wikipedia's official dark mode.
- Simple and easy to use with an ON/OFF switch.
- Works well for casual reading and effectively darkens the screen without ads.
- Receives positive feedback for functionality and user satisfaction.
Cons
- Crashes and resets frequently, causing loading issues.
- Incompatibility with some Wikipedia Gadgets and editing features, especially with Vector 2010 design.
- Does not invert math images, making them unreadable in dark mode.
- Long loading times and occasional page reloads.
- Has a slight yellow tint to the text which some users find odd.
Recent reviews
The contrast is very good. I say better than Wikipedia's official Dark Mode that has been out recently. But sadly this extension keeps on resetting and crashing. Usually incompatible with enabled Gadgets offered in Wikipedia. Especially those that come by the Vector 2010 Design. As much as I want to like this extension, it is quite troublesome as a Wikipedian Editor. Crashing the page unexpectedly, constant reloading, the incompatibility with source editing. Not to mention the long loading times (had you not gotten in a crash) that takes up to a half to even a minute of waiting. I might have a differing opinion that normal readers. Maybe the only one critical here; as others click 5 stars away.
Nevertheless, if you want to have this extension, better to have it as a casual reader of Wikipedia than using it for, lets say, initial research or editing. 3/5.
