User reviews

The Wikipedia Dark Mode add-on is appreciated for providing a dark theme that is easier on the eyes than the default bright white Wikipedia background. However, many users dislike the neon green color used for links and highlights, finding it harsh and distracting. A frequent request is for customizable link colors or toggles between green and blue. Additionally, some UI elements such as numeric values in the sidebar are improperly colored, causing readability problems. Overall, users like the concept but want more flexibility and color options.
Pros
  • Effectively reduces the bright white background of Wikipedia, making it easier on the eyes.
  • Provides a clean dark mode interface for Wikipedia.
  • Users appreciate the effort and concept of the add-on.
Cons
  • The green color used for links and highlights is widely disliked and considered harsh or unpleasant.
  • Links being green instead of the traditional blue makes browsing harder and less readable.
  • There is no option to customize or change the link colors, which multiple users requested.
  • Some UI elements like numeric values in certain areas are not properly styled, causing readability issues (e.g., black numbers on black background).
