en 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.

en Out of all the GreasyFork scripts and extensions I could find, this is by the far the one that gives the best results. With a nice ON/OFF switch available in one click. Installed for a few minutes only, but definitely seems very good.

en Overall good. However, it appears not to work with math - the images are not inverted, so it's impossible to read at night. It would also be good if there was a mode to follow the system dark mode. Gwern's guidelines are pretty good: https://gwern.net/design#dark-mode
