User Reviews

Users appreciate Sauron for effectively enabling dark mode on many websites without breaking functionality, along with whitelist support and scheduling. However, multiple users report text readability issues, inconsistent darkening, image dimming problems causing disappearance, and lack of toggling or exclusion features for certain sites like Reddit and YouTube. Some sites fail to load or display properly, and users desire better documentation on settings and bulk management of exceptions. Overall, it improves browsing comfort but has notable usability issues that need addressing.

Pros

Effectively provides dark mode for many websites without breaking layout or hiding buttons and text.
Supports whitelist or exclusion of certain websites, allowing better customization.
Improves readability with dark mode on sites that don't have built-in dark mode.
User-friendly and simple to use compared to other dark mode add-ons that strip formatting.
Includes scheduling features and internal dark mode with good appearance.

Cons

Inconsistent application of dark mode leading to white spots or unreadable text due to same color backgrounds and text.
Issues with dimming images causing them to disappear or break page layouts; toggle features sometimes unresponsive.
Some websites (e.g., LinkedIn, addons.mozilla.org) do not work correctly or fail to load properly in dark mode.
Lack of clear explanations for settings like 'whitelist'; insufficient options for bulk editing of exclusions.
Does not always darken all elements, e.g., specific pop-ups remain bright white despite dark mode being enabled.

Recent reviews

Can you make the dark purple color of links a bit brighter? Now it's a little hard to read the link texts.
