- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14512213, 6 years agoThis is one of the must need Extension on my Firefox but the way it just stops working on few sites in completely unacceptable when it works quite fine on Chrome. LinkedIn, Facebook and even Instagram and Gmail doesn't work properly with this one where it doesn't make elements dark somewhere and sometime takes the entire site down with it just like Gmail.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15451856, 6 years agoTried Dark Reader for a couple of weeks and had to uninstall. Keep getting script errors in conflict with regular Firefox use. Otherwise I like the features and controls. Script errors just became a nuisance.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15170332, 6 years agoIs quite good when it works, but far too often Videos or Images are also completely 'blacked out' on websites, for instance on BBC or Amazon sites, thus making those pages/sites virtually unusable - shame
- Rated 2 out of 5by andario2007, 6 years agoIt does a pretty good job, BUT it slows down my browsing experience SO much it´s not worth having, IMO. Firefox is slow enough as it is. Thanks
- Rated 2 out of 5by thatonedoge, 6 years agoI love how this looks, but unfortunately, it slows down my browsing. I've had to disable it now. It is really unfortunate that this is the case, because it really does improve the look of almost every site I use. One way that it could be improved is to have a site specific on/off switch- I think having it on for certain sites makes certain things invisible, whether it is in dark or light.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13958735, 6 years agoI really liked the customizing websites to be dark or slightly dimmer with this extension, but I noticed that is was causing GPU power spike issues. My GPU utilization would spike to 100 each time I loaded a page. When loading pages without the Dark Reader extension, my GPU usage remains below 3%.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14661604, 7 years agoIt slows down webpages as well as the browser. I am going to uninstall it. This extension needs a lot of improvement.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14636167, 7 years agoNOW USELESS ........
unfortunately, besides the fact that it really slows down all browser pages loading as mentioned by many users ....an even WORSE issue (which the developer refuses to respond to as i have messaged him directly over the past 2 months) is the FACT that one can no longer even SEE THE Scroll-bar on any given page ...it is so faint as to be virtually invisible (i actually had to use a magnifying glass to find the scroll-bar or scroll-button on every browser page) ...rendering Dark Reader Impractical and frankly USELESS. i have now switched over to Midnight Lizard, which has much better control and NO scroll-bar issues, can see the scroll-bar & scroll buttons perfectly using Midnight Lizard. - Rated 2 out of 5by humpty, 7 years agoSlows down the page loading. A lot.
(about 4 or 5 times slower than other formatters). It's amazing how it is able to attract so many users. - Rated 2 out of 5by Username 1º287346532, 7 years agoSlows down sites to the point of being unusable. No read the manual section. Counterintuitive settings.

- Rated 2 out of 5by 2-bits, 7 years agoThere are a lot of little bugs. Sometimes, I have to switch the extension off and on before it loads a side. Sometimes, when I add a site to my exceptions list it renders it as "dark" anyway. A lot of major sites (such as google.com) have parts of UI become invisible with this plug-in active (at least in dark mode). Kinda neat, but not up to the Chrome version yet.
Dark Mode - an extension I've been trying in this one's stead has a much smaller feature set but works far more reliably. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14580429, 7 years agoIt really slowed down my browsing experience. It was so slow I had to uninstall. Looks like it works really well and has a lot of options. But this doesn't matter if it's too slow to use
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12328754, 7 years agoGreat idea but it makes pages slow. Needs to be addressed.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14574573, 7 years agoI want to like this add-on. I really do. I love everything else about it except it causes excessive loading times.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13319396, 7 years agoIt's good on Chrome, but a disaster on Firefox. It integrates great with Facebook on Chrome, it's awful with FB on Firefox. Fix it before you release it. Cheers!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Xavier Novella Sinde, 7 years agoGood idea and i liked it. Mobil version seem better than Laptop version.
It slows the hell out of the PC! :S
