User reviews

The Dark Mode for Your Browser extension is praised for improving eye comfort during browsing, especially at night, with a simple and effective interface that works well across multiple sites. However, users have repeatedly noted concerns about unwanted link redirection on shopping sites, lack of control over image dimming, and difficulties disabling dark mode on specific pages. Some site-specific compatibility problems and privacy issues have also been reported. Overall, while many find it valuable, caution is advised due to potential risks and some functional limitations.

Pros

Effectively provides dark mode for websites lacking native dark themes, reducing eye strain especially at night or in low-light environments.
Simple, user-friendly interface that is easy to install and use.
Works well on most sites and has customizable options like site-specific settings.
Highly recommended by many users for improving browsing comfort.
Fast performance and pleasant dark color schemes that are easy on the eyes.

Cons

Some users report that the extension manipulates and redirects links on certain shopping sites, indicating potential risk of unauthorized affiliate tracking or malicious behavior.
Images are dimmed along with page backgrounds by default, which some users find unnecessary and undesirable with no option to disable this feature.
Several reports mention the inability to disable dark mode on certain sites or difficulty in controlling mode settings as expected.
Occasional site-specific issues such as non-functionality on YouTube, problems rendering PDFs on GitHub, and issues with Cloudflare CAPTCHA requiring disabling the extension temporarily.
Some users experienced ads or extension promotions appearing persistently after removal, which raises concerns about the extension behavior and privacy.

I liked the extension, and it turned out to be a great assistance to me surfing websites that don't have a dark theme available. No wonder Google recommends it, I recommend it too. Really nice and usefull.

Aplicativo parecia interessante, a ideia é deixar em modos de cores diferentes a tela e não funciona.

Extension safety

Risk impact

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 for your browser requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
