by Jerry, 7 years agoDark Reader is a fine extension that works like charm but then if it is so why 1 star. Reasons?

On a lot of sites, it works like it is killing the browser and browsing experience and most of the time, browsers dies and we have to start again by disabling or stopping the extension thus losing data. Tabs behave like they have been brought under a lot of pressure and they cannot handle it anymore.
Plus, the settings look great but not that appealing. If I have set certain settings on a certain web link and different on another, it doesn't remember when we are browsing again in a new session another time.
Also, my suggestions are also for adding modes for reading, viewing, watching, eye straining or more which dev can learn from other such apps or softwares.
Plus, I have some doubts about privacy and whether or not, this extension overshadows and records via facility it provides what we are doing when extension is enabled,
I hope dev will understand and see the link which i have provided to understand why i support this extension and will overcome these issues as soon as possible.
Also create an android and ios and windows app.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18969383, 12 days agoUsed to be a great extension, but over the last year or so it's gotten worse to use. There is 0 reason a PC with a 16 core / 32 thread cpu, 32gb ram, and a 2070 Super FE should have frequent tab crashes and closures over a DARK MODE EXTENSION. Optimize your code, goodness. I can't even open facebook anymore with the extension on, it's gotten that bad.
- Rated 2 out of 5by The Cap'n, 15 days agoI wanted to like this extension, tried it for several weeks. **Constant** tab crashes and memory leaks from overly aggressive CSS injections. As long as Dark Reader has been around, I just don't understand how this level of extension instability is even possible. GitHub is wholesale unnavigable due to tab crashes.
I ended up settling with manual changes to my browser's color/high contrast settings to force a global override on site colors. This at least works without ramping memory usage or crashing tabs. While it's a somewhat crude solution, that solution is indeed more effective and stable than using a third-party extension. - Rated 3 out of 5by Latra404, 17 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander A., 22 days agoHey! I have a weird problem with this extension:
I made a userscript that highlights certain text on a page, but DarkReader keeps overriding my high visibility colors (neon yellow, magenta, cyan, etc.) with neutral versions of these colors. I tried to be slick and added 'darkreader' class to my style element to trick the extension into thinking that it is its own style and ignore it, and it worked! But now I found out that DarkReader deletes all its styles on websites that already have dark theme, including my own style.
Is there any way to make DarkDeader ignore certain CSS styles or rules? - Rated 5 out of 5by ArseniosTs, 22 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by WilsonBorkowski, a month agoThis extension is great. I had previously tried the Dark Mode by Bernard extension but was frustrated because it was either everything on or off. It was not easy to whitelist webpages and more often than not websites end up looking weird with dark mode applied to them. But this extension lets me set the site list to inverted listed only so by default it is off and only on for specific domains that I add. That's perfect for me because I would much rather add the few sites I actually want dark mode on than exclude every site where I don't like it.
