User reviews

Users generally praise Dark View for its effective brightness control and simplicity, making it a highly recommended tool to reduce eye strain and enhance night-time browsing. However, several reviewers point out its lack of a whitelist feature, leading to unnecessary darkening of already dark sites. Users also note inconsistent behavior across browsers, absence of support on certain pages, and a slight lag in dimming new tabs. Despite these issues, it remains a favored extension for easy and efficient screen dimming.

Pros

Effective brightness control that improves eye comfort
Simple and easy to use with a straightforward interface
Works well as a dark mode alternative/dimmer for various websites
Highly recommended by users and considered better than similar extensions
Helpful for night-time browsing and reducing eye strain

Cons

Lacks a whitelist feature to exclude already dark-themed sites leading to over-darkening
Inconsistent behavior in different browsers regarding tab-specific settings
Does not work on certain pages like Chrome Web Store or browser settings
Only dims background color without advanced color inversion or adjustment
Some delay in applying the dim effect on new tabs leading to brief white flashes
