- Rated 5 out of 5by emvaized, 7 months agoGreat addon! Would be awesome if you could apply dark mode per window, so that I can keep the window on the main monitor with light theme, and apply dark mode for websites only on a secondary monitor.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13229307, 8 months agoJust the fact that you have to reload if you change a setting makes this worthless.
- Rated 5 out of 5by isuru, 8 months agoOh goodness, finally, a dark mode extension that works well enough and does not destroy my device. Thank you. We can deal with the bugs, please keep developing <3 (and yes its seriously fast)

posted 8 months agoI’m still working on it. I’m in a pause but next update will fix more bugs and bring new ui - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18943576, 8 months agoIt hasn't actually worked yet. It doesn't change anything about the pages on this website, for example, or YouTube. Something may be blocking it, but I enabled permissions when asked by Firefox. I don't think it's uBlock, because it behaves the same way when that's disabled. Please advise! Or help

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17715939, 10 months agoWould love to be able to blacklist sites to not run this (Gmail behaves funky when this is enabled, I'm sure there are more sites that I'll run into the future)
Other than that it works great.Developer response

A major user interface overhaul is coming soon! In the meantime, the current UI already allows you to exclude sites from being darkened. If you don’t see the extension’s button pinned in your toolbar, it might still be hidden under the puzzle piece (🧩) menu, where newly installed extensions are grouped - Rated 5 out of 5by Uriy, 10 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18805902, a year agoIs it possible to set dark mode to automatic based on the ligh/dark theme on my phone? I cant find it..
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cooper, a year agoI thought I would never use dark mode on browsers due to their performance hit. Then I found this.

This add-on needs to:
Access browser tabs
Access your data for all websites
UltimaDark:
This add-on needs to:
Clear recent browsing history, cookies, and related data
Access browser tabs
Store unlimited amount of client-side data
Access browser activity during navigation
Access your data for all websites
Indeed fast :) but a lot of permissions needed
works well on telegraaf.nl , better then dark reader.Developer response
posted a year agoEach permission in UltimaDark is added only when absolutely necessary and is used in the most minimal way possible. Browsing history and cookies remains untouched. Clearing the cache is done on key moments (such as updating settings ) specifically to prevent loading unedited resources, ensuring consistent dark mode application across websites.
While UltimaDark might perform better than other tools, such as Dark Reader, on certain websites (e.g., telegraaf.nl), it’s worth noting that Dark Reader is developed by a team of over 40 developers and more than 1300 contributors, whereas UltimaDark is free and still the result of a solo effort. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18678457, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18726046, a year agoMy initial use found that my Proton Pass was rendered useless by the plugin. The dev fixed that with v1.6.11 -- LOVE this plugin now.
- Rated 4 out of 5by shadows552, a year agoFast performance and pretty universal darkening. However, some elements may be incorrectly darkened or look funky (for example, one note writing on web). Also, excluding websites doesn't seem to work (or at least work consistently).

The extension is still experimental and constantly evolving. To report bugs, share ideas, or track progress, the project’s GitHub page is available. Anyone who wants to be part of the growing community around this project is warmly welcome. Thank you for your patience and support! - Rated 3 out of 5by VOIIIXI, a year agoBetter performance than Dark Reader but not as good. Lots of pages incorrectly darkened, images too, Google search is the biggest example. It definitely needs more work.

UltimaDark does not aim to compare itself to Dark Reader or any other tool. Please keep in mind that UltimaDark is a young, free project, and by nature, it will never be “finished.” Bugs are inevitable since fixing an issue for one site may break functionality for others, especially with only one developer working on it.

Thankfully there is this addon as a repacement. Dark mode quality of UltimaDark is certainly sufficient and websites load fast with it. So glad I found it. Especially since the rest of dark mode addons seem abandoned. So thank you so very much ThomazPom for this great addon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mushrooms, a year agoNoticeably fast easily the Best Performance for a Dark Mode Add-on, it's definitely experimental and requires difficult development, I'm using Fennec on Android and I'm encountering a bad visual bug if attempting to reusing the search bar on brave if java script isn't disabled. Other then a few websites most other visual bugs are minor and this add-on is very usable even on it current version, of course further development is much appreciated, Thank you ThomazPom!!
