Dark Reader
Dark mode for every website. Take care of your eyes, use dark theme for night and daily browsing.
This eye-care extension enables night mode by creating dark themes for websites on the fly. Dark Reader inverts bright colors, making them high contrast and easy to read at night.
You can adjust the brightness, contrast, sepia filter, dark mode, font settings and the ignore-list.

working fine
The hidden Flags Experiment page in google chrome had a way to turn on dark mode but some things were always screwed up. Today even more was screwed up and i couldn't get it normal so looked for a chrome extension... found some but u pay for them (YEARLY..... LOL), now i found this. I've seen some people say it made the browser slow. Get a better pc. It works fine... In fact this worked out perfect, dark mode on everything, ways to turn it off for specific sites that don't need it if it doesn't auto detect a dark mode (or not a mode but just a dark background to begin with), even more filtering you can do just for a specific site (worked out great for the FFXIV wiki page). And you CAN pay them, if you want to.... kinda like the popular ad blockers. but this isn't a trial version then you have to pay like others. 5 stars
This extension is a 100% must have. A total game changer.
really helped me for viewing my notes on one note
Very Good
WORST PRODUCT EVER IT DOESNT LET YOU DISABLE IT IF YOU DO IT MESSES UP THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF WEBSITES
Not good. Even when turning it off, it messes with pages. Things happen when you're messing with the controls, but as soon as you click off, things go wonky. This one needs a lot more time in the oven.
Welcome to the dark side))
all websites turning to dark mode theme. useful.
This extension is mid at best. It does its job when it has to, but overall feels unpolished and not well thought-out. For example on Google Docs, it will successfully enable dark mode for the document editor by inverting the colors, but that includes the highlighter colors, so other people will view the highlight with the inverse color. (Ex: bright yellow will become dark blue for others.) Overall this extension isn't bad, but neither good. I'd be happy to be proven wrong in the future, but for now this is underperforming for an extension with 5,000,000+ users.
Thank for the best extension.
Incredibles extension
Does exactly what is says on the tin. Dark mode is not available for all websites but this amazing tool means it IS now an option for every website! Great stuff.
loved it
Only extension I could find to do websites like Drudge Report that are all white.
Not free, misleading. Excuse me? Can they be upfront make it as paid apps instead of mislead like this? I can straight up ignore this extension and not seeing this 'new page popup' after I install 'free extensions'.
This is so far the best extension for dark mode some sites, including Pinterest, perfectly tho.
Totally funtional on 99% websites, A "must download" extension.
I am so confused with this extension, I thought it's free (not trial or paid etc.) but today I downloaded this extension and got this new page saying: "Please pay for Dark Reader Today is September 19, and we're kindly asking you to complete the payment to keep Dark Reader going. For over 10 years, Dark Reader has helped millions of people with migraines, photophobia, and light sensitivity. Please make a payment now or soon after trying the app. Take part in spreading dark mode across the internet and help making the web easier on everyone's eyes." Excuse me? Can they be upfront make it as paid apps instead of mislead like this? I can straight up ignore this extension and not seeing this 'new page popup' after I install 'free extensions'.
Chrome kept freezing and crashing the last few days when watching streams or clips on twitch, youtube stopped working completely, turns out this extension was the problem. It works again after putting these 2 sites to the ignore list. So if you also have problems with youtube and twitch or other sites, see if this extension is the problem.
Bruh the chrome web store is still blasting my eyes with light
best extension,i love black theme so much : ) especially at night,its the best
actually the BEST. this one WORKS
Thanks for the extension
At first, it worked fine. But lately, it’s been causing issues. In dark mode, every time a new site loads, there’s a sudden white flash before it switches to dark, which feels unpleasant and strains the eyes. This problem was exactly why I avoided using lightweight userscripts and relied on an extension instead—but now even that is failing.
Smooth, seamless, powerful
An absolute "must have" for your daily web surfing, working, whatever. Fantastic.
love it! so simple yet powerful

Amazing, my retinas thank you forever
I'm having a problem with google chat's icons: they get rendered as text rather than a dark mode icon, resulting in being impossible to use google chat. Hope y' all fix it soon, best dark mode plugin out there!
Love this extension. Have used it for years, and it keeps getting better! I'm happy to report that it works excellently with my preferred browser, Wavebox.
Contains harmful malware - my PC was attacked several times while using this extension. Mind you, I have had this PC for several years without any problem
Sometimes it bugs out and darkens the screen even when it's turned off. Worse, the screen gets darkened in a bugged manner, with various elements not darkening/inverted to white properly.
they are nice and u dont have to pay unless u want to but cool
It's really buggy, both on Brave and Librewolf. It also shamelessly begs you for money when you install it. Go to chrome://flags and enable Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents. It's not perfect but at least it doesn't crash the page or show an unresponsive pop-up.
It glitches turns my screen black very frequently when turned on. I even had to restart my computer to remove this.
Working overall, god bless!
Works and is free!
This is an amazing plugin, it works 99.8% of the time which is a lot given the difficulty of the task! Darkened sites still look great and are much easier to work with. It takes a lot of work to keep these plugins up to date with the ever changing web and I'm glad this plugin is still going strong.
Works everywhere, simple to use and with many configs if you need.
