We may ask you to support the development of the app with a donation. You may see news about Dark Reader in the settings popup. There are Developer Tools for experienced users. Dark Reader doesn't show ads and doesn't send users' data anywhere. It's fully open-source: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader Before you install it, disable similar extensions. Enjoy watching!

  • (2025-07-23) The best dark mode conversion extension out there!!! Works flawlessly on most sites, rare occasions where it is not ideal are usually caused by sites stupid design decisions that hinder conversion algorithms
  • (2025-07-22) Using Windows 10. The feature where it automatically switches depending on Windows' system theme (light/dark mode) does not work unless you manually toggle it, which defeats the automatic nature of it.
  • (2025-07-20) peak the best
  • (2025-07-17) It was working quite well, but recently it's started giving me serious problems. Aside from the "Repair extension" warning everyone's talking about, the biggest problem I'm experiencing is that on sites like YouTube that already have a dark theme, the page is completely black. Text, images, videos, nothing is visible. Everything is completely black. When I click on a video, the video doesn't even appear; it's still a black screen. On some sites, the bottom of the video doesn't even appear. These problems I mentioned aren't just happening on YouTube; they're happening on almost every site with a dark theme. I'll update my rating once you fix the issues. Please take note.
  • (2025-07-17) Works for everything, EXCEPT the Chrome Web Store Extensions page where it comes from!!! I want ZERO white backgrounds, including the page the extension comes from.
  • (2025-07-16) Best one so far!
  • (2025-07-16) this extension saved my life
  • (2025-07-16) Not working in Google Map recently.
  • (2025-07-14) Does what it says from what I can tell, but I'm not sure I trust it. Their website talks about Pie Adblock as their "partner extension", and Pie is known to be fishy.
  • (2025-07-11) It's the best option by far
  • (2025-07-11) Most reliable dark theme extension on Chrome that doesn't screw up images. Not associated with the Dark Theme extension reported to be malware.
  • (2025-07-10) Just to clarify and help other users: this extension HAS NOTHING TO DO with the "Dark Theme - Dark Reader" extension which was removed from the web store in the last few days because it was spreading malware!!! Here the info: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malicious-chrome-extensions-with-17m-installs-found-on-web-store/
  • (2025-07-10) Great for eye strain and adapts to websites quite nicely
  • (2025-07-03) Dark Mode Reader is a fantastic extension for anyone looking to reduce eye strain during late-night browsing. It offers various color options that go beyond a simple inversion of colors, making your browsing experience visually pleasing. It's especially helpful when many websites tend to blind you with bright backgrounds at night. However, I have encountered some significant drawbacks. The extension can really slow down Chrome, particularly if you have more than 5 tabs open. My processor often maxes out, resulting in frustrating lag times of 3 to 15 seconds where I can't do anything. Initially, I thought my computer was the issue, but after deactivating the extension, everything worked smoothly again. It would be beneficial for the developers to address this resource-intensive problem, perhaps by providing a warning in the help section or offering a way to quickly deactivate the extension to reduce resource usage (would just simply turn dark mode off or must you disable it in the settings?). Another lightweight version with basic functionality for those who want to use dark mode without compromising performance would be a great addition. Overall, Dark Mode Reader is a wonderful tool for protecting your eyes, but be mindful of its impact on your system's performance. Awareness of this trade-off can help users better plan their browsing experience.
  • (2025-07-03) Great extension. Except you need a quantum computer to run it on. It does the job alright. Except if you have many tabs open, your Chrome will gradually become slower and slower and slower to a point you may want to throw it out the window. Of a skyscraper. As someone who is really patient, this really gets my blood boiling. Also, I am not one that will make the effort of putting a negative review, yet, here I am. To the developer: As a developer myself, sure, I would actually pay for this, as I need it. However, it's just not fit for multiple tabs a and long time use. I am under Linux with the latest Chrome. I also have a really decent Dell XPS 15 with 64 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. I've also tried it under Thorium. This also happens even if I have a list of allowed sites.
  • (2025-06-29) God, was there any new update, pages are now so dark, the white text are irritating to look at! please fix this. updating this after 8 months in july 2025 and the issues are only rising. what is going on?
  • (2025-06-29) it's a great extension, but lately it has been causing STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION when accessing certain pages such as https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/grow/. this has started happening with the new chromium builds 138.0.7204.49 and above.
  • (2025-06-29) Must have to save time setting websites to dark mode. Usually works for almost everything.

  • (2025-06-25) Best of all I have used up until now.
  • (2025-06-23) Simply the best extension for forcing dark mode on pages. Works on most websites without making image content invert colors
  • (2025-06-22) Gets the job done . Simple but so useful
  • (2025-06-21) Mostly works good. Although it changes colors of icons that represent color options of products on online shopping websites, for example (black icon represents white color of product, etc.). Also checkboxes are sometimes messed up - you don't see if you checked the box or not. Pictures may look dark as well.
  • (2025-06-21) Great
  • (2025-06-20) works really well on all websites
  • (2025-06-19) good
  • (2025-06-17) TURNS YOUR WHOLE SITE BLACK AND ASKS YOU TO PAY ON THE EXTENSION PAGE
  • (2025-06-14) This is a very good extension, but IMHO not worth $10. I've been using for many years, but now I have to uninstall it. Maybe if the price was a lower I would gladly pay for it.
  • (2025-06-11) Finally it works! awesome best thing in the world!

  • (2025-05-25) Sometimes annoying when you have to manually switch it off.
