by pancakess, 6 years agoProblem:
at first it works wonderfully, i recently have a problem of how it changes my theme when i turn off/on (from my dark theme to grey(on) to white (off) which is VERY annoying! also it now for some reason keeps changing themes automatically on site ive been before which is also annoying. the problem accured when i was adjusting contrast/grayscale/sephia on a novel site as the default site color was light brown and darkreader changed it redish grey after i did that when i changed sites it followed which annoyed me and i turned them all off, then it keeps changing dark modes auomatically and changes my firefox theme. please fix this ASAP!
Experience before problem:
other than that issues its dark mode is solid, doesnt add black box on website logo when im reading. 5/5
Suggestions: i dont know if it was like that in the past or it is supposed to automatically change darkmode but a button for turning on darkmode for the site instead of doing it automatically/reverse button would be very much appreciated.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18969383, 14 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, 17 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, 19 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander A., 24 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, 24 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.
