Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 13598109, 7 years agoI loved this extension on chrome and used to use it all the time. However, on Firefox, this thing absolutely shreds my CPU. When loading a new page or toggling the dark-mode on, it will spike to ~80% CPU usage for several seconds, and cause my entire browser to hang (note that this is on a 5th gen i7). I don't care for extensions that abuse my CPU power. This extension never used to be like this, but I've had to stop using it.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoOne of the reasons is that Firefox could use built-in video card instead of discrete. Anyway, more productive but less smart looking approach was released (More -> Static Theme). It will be improved in future, but you can try it now.
Update: Try new Dynamic Theme mode.

- Rated 5 out of 5by DiGiTaL-CORE, 10 days agoExcellent add-on makes my browsing experience much more enjoyable. I can hardly go without Dark Reader and from their news feed I see they put a LOT of work into this add-on. It's not easy working with long standing bugs and ever changing API in FF and Chrome. Thank you, truly! Dark Reader, uBlock, Privacy Badger, and NoScript are the best.
