Rated 4 out of 5
by LT Smash, 5 years agoWorked just fine for a couple months, then Firefox quarantined it (when it was still named Dark Mode and wasn't recommended yet), this message appears below the disabled and locked out "Dark Mode" :
Dark Theme (Malware) has been blocked for your protection.
Why was it blocked?
This add-on violates Mozilla's ad-don policies by using obfuscated code.
What does this mean?
The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled and no longer usable.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.

Now I'm using the slightly inferior Dark Night Mode add-on, because I can't stand all that LED light at night, especially that harmful blue wave we experience that seriously messes with the circadian rhythm/sleep cycle (like those new LED streetlights, im glad my city still mostly just has the orange sodium lights and hope the newfound harmful health effects slow down the deployment of that even worse light pollution).
Mr. Shutau, can I trust your new "Dark Reader" or will it attempt to inject malicious code sometime in the future? I really liked your "Dark Mode", but using Debian Linux, I was surprised to see the word Malware in my add-ons when I went to the Add-Ons menu when I noticed the extension stopped working and the icon disappeared from my toolbar.
If an explanation of what happened here can be obtained, I'd love to see it...

- Rated 1 out of 5by tjnewbry, 5 days agoWas amazing, but it freezes everything up now. Has been broken for months
- Rated 5 out of 5by DiGiTaL-CORE, 6 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.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kis Albert, 8 days agoThere is no need to have news reader in addon! Just bare minimum to get the job done with minimal CPU/RAM.
- Rated 3 out of 5by hippo, 8 days agoI don't why but after latest changes, it causes stylesheet objects to corrupt, and the pages fail to render

- Rated 3 out of 5by Beelz, 9 days agoVersion 4.9.99 and i'm still having issues with certain websites (twitch and kick in particular) causing insane lag on load, sometimes even killing the page entirely. it's not every time but it's gotten bad enough i felt the need to leave feedback at this point.
