- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12842591, 7 years agoIs an improvement on the dark reader I was using previously in the following ways :
1. colour scheme is truly quite intelligent and much easier on the eyes than simple inversion
2. the menu for controlling the extension is well-designed, intuitive and looks good - Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Parker, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Андрей Акимов, 7 years agoЖутко тормозит на мобильной версии Firefox. Хотел с планшета почитать сайты, но не тут то было! Так как для мобильной версии Chrome нельзя устанавливать расширения, то специально установил мобильный Firefox и это дополнение. На моём Asus MeMo Pad FHD10 страницы грузились очень долго, прокрутка практически зависала по несколько секунд. На десктопной версии проблем нет.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Satish P, 7 years agoThis add-on is really great for people like me who prefer to use dark mode/themes all over. My OS is also always on High Contrast with White text on Black backgrounds. Firefox's Colors doesn't help much because most websites are simply useless when viewed with overridden dark colors and High Contrast. So I thank the developer for really good and useful work!
However there seem to be issues with some sites (bugzilla.mozilla.org is completely dark with nothing visible; GitHub fares a little better but still unusable). Performance is also a big hindrance - page loads and scrolling are completely off with this extension enabled. I presume the Chrome version may not have these issues but I prefer Firefox and would like to see this extension working well with it.Developer response
posted 7 years agoJust published Dynamic Theme mode, which should have no blank screen and performance bugs. If some website is displayed wrong, you can send a link to darkreaderapp@gmail.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13903605, 7 years agoI can't help but assume there is a bug, but while Dark Reader works as advertised, it completely destroys performance. I'm using a 2017 Macbook Pro and viewing even the simplest pages result in extremely laggy scrolling, page load, and even closing Firefox sometimes hangs. I initially assumed it was a problem with Firefox, but as soon as I removed Dark Reader, everything was fine again.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13903167, 7 years agoThis is a great extension that makes websites look great, but on Filter+, I can't see anything on sites like GitHub and with Static Theme, some input boxes, like on Google and DuckDuckGo have strange formats.
