• (2022-08-16) forouhar mohammadpanah: God bless the creator of this extension, I'm a programmer and there's a lot of programming related websites that don't have a dark theme even though they should have and this extension makes them a lot easier to read. thank you so much

• (2022-08-12) yes: SAVED MY EYES FROM THE BURNING WHITE SCREEN
• (2022-08-12) Claudio Cito: Works good, but has this bug where the "auto" mode keeps disabling once in a while with no reason (and I always have to go in the extension setting and re-enable it) I'll try other similar extensions to see if there's something better
• (2022-08-12) Gus Fahrendorf: It is REALLY EXCELLENT for what it does. What is needs - is to be ON for certain sites and OFF for other sites. Not just on and off. It is possible to adjust all sites differently - BUT... It has to be ON or OFF for ALL. :)
• (2022-08-12) Ryan Cullen: I love this dark reader. However, I might have to get rid of it as it does not work with gmail as it inadvertendly hides the options at the top of the page (e.g., delete, move, archive). Please fix??
• (2022-08-12) Zachary Williams: potato private parts are particularly.... private there now you know im not a bot anyways this is a great force dark mode extension but it kinda breaks on google slides last time i used it but that was a while ago since i moved computers
• (2022-08-11) ShadyIsLove: Dark Reader seems to be displaying colors and tabs incorrectly as of a few days ago on Google Calendar. I have been using Dark Reader for Calendar for several years now and I suspect this is a little glitch that can be fixed easily. Specific glitch seems to be contrast is off and previous events being brightened as opposed to faded out. Would love for this to be fixed as soon as possible.
• (2022-08-11) Bobak Tadjalli: Hi, I like this extension and used it a lot. I'm using Vivaldi browser (updated to version 5.4.2753.28 today) and Windows 10 operating system. Today, I realized that I couldn't view Vivaldi's web panels correctly. After disabling Dark Reader extension, I could view the web panels as good as they were before and I found out that the extension affected to the web panels, too. I'm somehow happy for that if it hadn't made this problem (also I wish that I could enable/disable dark mode for specific/all web panels as same as webpages). :-) I would appreciate if you could fix this issue. Thanks in advance. UPDATE: The above problem is fixed. I appreciate for that. I have the same issue as other reviews since August 10, 2022 but I'm not sure if it's caused by Dark Reader or not.
• (2022-08-11) Trancemaster Onyx: Latest update breaks the whole browser, lots of graphics/CSS etc. don't load/run properly! Please fix as I have to disable the extension until it works again!! UPDATE: Now it's back working as before, thanks for the fix!
• (2022-08-11) Bobby Ronel Kannan: The best dark mode extension out there! And it's open source! Great work guys!

• (2022-08-09) basu rita: es muy buena mis ojos al fin descansan
• (2022-08-09) paul: amazing, no ads , works how i wanted
• (2022-08-09) Viktor Németh: It was good until you cocked up gmail to the point of useless. Poor effort. (not just that you didn't test it but that your comment on github is that "the update will be a week to upload" - ffs how many people are having a bad time now because you can't be arsed to push an update that you actually have already fixed in dev?
• (2022-08-09) Jonathan Prince: This is so perfect!
• (2022-08-08) Nikodem Kirsz: Great
• (2022-08-08) Alexey Vodomirov: Хорошее расширение. Но дня 3-4 назад это расширение стало нарушать разметку входящих писем на mail.ru Если отключить расширение, то всё становится на свои места. Поправьте пожалуйста. Видимо это как то связано с последними обновлениями. Данная проблема проверена на firefox и google chrom... Другие не проверял.
• (2022-08-08) zDexver: Good thanks for making this a extension
• (2022-08-08) Christopher Bezzina: Been using Dark Reader for quite a long time, and I like it. Is it me but the fonts colours settings have been removed? Am I missing something here? That was my favourite feature.
• (2022-08-07) Пожилая Рыбка: 5 из 5
• (2022-08-07) Frank Lee: 功能完美符合所需
• (2022-08-06) Renato Salazar: muy bueno, cumple con lo que promete.
• (2022-08-06) Danny Wilfong: All positive reviews say all I want to say. Advanced users: (Not sure if this was mentioned) Use Inspect on any website to find code and further modify CSS code so you can override practically any item, text, image, apply color filters, make something completely invisible if you like, change spacing, etc. This takes patience and experience with CSS but I've modified Gmail, bank websites, Facebook, and many others to look better for my experience. CSS for inverting Google Drive document previews too look better in dark mode. (There may be a way to combine the two file types but I didn't take the time to learn this yet.) Just go into Settings > Dev Tools and find / add the code below: ================================ drive.google.com CSS /* .txt and .doc file previews get an invert. */ img[class="a-q-zb-Ua ta-gc-np-Nd"][alt*=".txt"] { filter: invert(90%) !important; } img[class="a-q-zb-Ua ta-gc-np-Nd"][alt*=".doc"] { filter: invert(90%) !important; } ================================
• (2022-08-03) Linh Tu: Incredible extension!! 11-10!
• (2022-08-02) Lucas Rodriguez: La única extensión que funciona correctamente en todos los sitios, incluso en google docs!
• (2022-07-31) Dmitry Pleshkanovskiy: The most stable, convenient and hassle-free plugin for the dark theme I have found. Hotkeys for theme toggles are very useful.
• (2022-07-31) Steven Coker: Works well for me with very minor issues on some sites.
• (2022-07-30) Christopher Harper: The best technology they have might only be in testing mode now, but it is super needed and makes this dark mode extension the best; AUTO which basically detects if a page is already running dark mode and therefore will not activate in that case. I know that I have had to go into dev tools to try it out, but seriously, it is now essential for me, because that is literally the only problem as more and more sights offer dark mode options and I love that more and more people are choosing it, driving demand. So naturally these extensions aren't as needed, and might one day be useless, but i cannot overstate how much eye strain it has saved me over the years, and how it is even getting better, so thanks to the devs, I cannot recommend enough!
• (2022-07-30) Park Myeong Cheol: 와..... 크롬의 그 chrome://flags에 있는 그 dark 모드로 쓰는데 놔둬야 될것도 다같이 검게 변해서 답답해하다 찾게 됬는디요 이거 쫌 좋은듯 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 내가 쓰던 사이트는 일단 잘됨 ㅋㅋㅋ
• (2022-07-29) Łukasz M: It works very well and is very flexible, apart from nor working with local PDF files.
• (2022-07-26) Jubaer Huda Abir: it's great
• (2022-07-25) Brad Smith: As someone with eye sensitivity, this has been one of the more consistent extensions out there. HOWEVER. and may jut be my right or certain websites but i've noticed some images become polarized and I'd rater not deal with a negative image however rare it might be. Any thought that might handy you be appreciated.

• (2022-07-20) Peter Thomas: It can break a lot of websites, like Delta.com and United.com. Not sure what else breaks, but finding out that it basically bricked those two made me uninstall it. I love the functionality, but I won't use it if it breaks stuff.
• (2022-07-19) Sergio Villa: Lo tuve que usar para google cloud platform ... quedo genial
• (2022-07-18) Ted Tang: Perfect. Needed way to disable dark mode on some URL's. The chrome://flags dark mode was nice but experience was bad on some URL's. This extension allows me to enable dark mode by default and disable for certain URL's. Thanks.

Latest issues

• (2022-08-12, v:4.9.55) YASH SINGHAL: Hides Text Cursor
  Since the extension makes the background black, this causes the text cursor which is also black to get hidden with the background. I am facing this issue while solving problems on leetcode.
• (2022-08-12, v:4.9.55) Ryan Cullen: Hides gmail
  Hello, I love this extention but unfortunately it hides the options at the top of gmail (e.g., delete, move, archive). Can you fix this? Otherwise it is such a good extension. Thanks.

• (2022-08-10, v:4.9.54) RJ Smith: Loading, please wait
  First Stylish becomes pointless and stops working because of updates and now you. :( it's really a shame you where really good. I've learned there is no point in waiting. The odd of a fix are less then the odds of it not being fixed. Plus there are other apps that do the same thing. I'll give it a week before deleting. but will be using another app.
• (2022-08-10, v:4.9.54) swvajanya tek: Suddenly stopped working and now getting a "Loading, please wait" when left-clicking on the pinned icon
  In a chrome-portable instances, as of a few days ago, the extension suddenly stopped working and now I'm getting a "Loading, please wait" when left-clicking on the pinned icon in the extensions bar (to the right of the url). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. It works in a regular chrome instance and other chrome-portable instances, but I can't figure out how to fix this one (and I'm not sure how to migrate to another without losing all of my history, treeTabs, etc...)
• (2022-08-10, v:4.9.54) Ben Trainor: Google Calendar Dynamic mode
  I've been on Dynamic mode forever, and it looked great on Google Calendar until today. It no longer leaves past events darkened but keeps them very bright and desaturated. I don't prefer to use Filter or Filter+ which do still have the past events darkened instead of weirdly bright.

  currently websites that used "Lightning Aura Component" library are not inverted correctly, especially for me eg. <a href="https://support.xilinx.com/s/?language=en_US">https://support.xilinx.com</a>
• (2022-07-29, v:4.9.52) Jeremy Huang: Dark Reader inverts everything
  I only want some sites to be inverted, but somehow Dark Reader has permanently turned on inverting everything. I've tried the toggle site button, the on/off switch, using either "Invert listed only" or "Not invert listed", removing the extension, and incognito (it's disallowed in incognito). I've even tried different chrome profiles, chrome's reset settings action, and uninstalling and re-installing chrome. This makes it seem like it's chrome, but I don't see a chrome setting for that. I can tell something is happening when I toggle pages on and off, as if it's "trying" to invert or not because pages show up differently, but they're never their normal page. Sample screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/Xpr6k5u How can I view pages normally?

• (2022-07-25, v:4.9.52) Brett Young: Is there a way to have this extension start in the "OFF" mode?
  Great design, but I am trying to use this with managed guest sessions, and as such both continuously get the first time splash window as well as the the extension starting out in the "enabled" mode. Is their a work around for this?
• (2022-07-18, v:4.9.52) Deepak Sangle: Dark Mode on some IDE
  Hey, I have been using this extension for a while now and I have been facing this issue. Whenever i use some online IDE, for eg. Interviewbit IDE, GeeksforGeeks IDE, the experience is not that good. Many times the keyboard cursor (|) may not be visible or sometimes the cross in GeeksforGeeks website is not clearly visible. Could you please look into it? Thanks.
• (2022-07-15, v:4.9.52) Вик Волчик: Пропускает рекламу
  Сегодня искала способ заблокировать рекламу яндекса в яндекс картинках. Мой AdGuard почему то не блокировал его. Добавляла фильтры, игралась с ручной блокировкой, смотрела журнал фильтрации и ставила свои фильтры через tampermonkey. Всё безуспешно. Пока я не решила проверить, не в расширениях ли дело. Сначала открыла сайт в окне хрома инкогнито. Там включила только AdGuard. И о чудо, рекламы нет. Потому стала по очереди отключать расширения. Первым был Dark Reader. И снова чудо, именно он пропускал рекламу. Не знаю, виноваты ли разработчики расширения. Или это особенность, когда кто то лезет в CSS страниц, создаётся брешь для рекламы. Но в любом случае, Dark Reader имеет такой эффект. Из за чего, я им больше комфортно пользоваться не могу. Прошу исправить это. Спасибо.
• (2022-07-12, v:4.9.52) Daniel Rose: Some photos reverse their colors.
  Please review this website to see what kind of photo doesn't work, right now... https://www.elderlawanswers.com/put-caregiving-arrangements-in-writing-lawyers-advise-2718 There is an instance of a photo with reversed colors that do not seem to be recognized or adjusted correctly by Dark Reader, yet. I am using Chrome browser. I may have a setting in Chrome which is "protecting" Chrome from Dark Reader. Maybe that causes intermittent unexpected results. I would also like to say, Thank you. I donated a couple of times when I had money, and I am extremely grateful for this ext. due to my cataracts, etc.

  Hola, de un día para el otro dejó de andar, no sé por qué. Antes me ponía las páginas en gris oscuro, ahora las pone en un gris clarito y es casi lo mismo que no tener la extensión. Aclaro que no toqué nada de los ajustes. Lo desinstalé y me puse otra extensión, si el problema se arregla, con gusto vuelvo a Dark Reader. Gracias y saludos.

• (2022-07-02, v:4.9.52) Lady Lauki: Issue with settings breaking
  There was an issue with dynamic mode a while back that has been corrected but since then the extension has had new issues. It will sometimes combine a stark contrast with the correct settings and turn icons black & white that it is supposed to ignore, which makes using my job's website difficult as it removes the color-coding I need to be able to tell info at a glance. Using Google docs has me constantly having to turn the extension on and off or my entire tab becomes pure black and un-usable, every time, it also sometimes happens with Google image search. Please fix this. This is the best dark mode extension I have ever used, when it works properly, and I use this extension for accessibility, not aesthetics, so it is frustrating to constantly have to reset it.
• (2022-06-30, v:4.9.52) Joflow: Modern for Wikipedia

• (2022-06-24, v:4.9.51) Максим Четверня: Adjust the copying of content non-darkened
  Please add the ability to copy-paste content from the browser non-darkened. I mean, dark mode is good for surfing, but when working with Word and copy-pasting content from the browser, it's usually needed to be pasted in a normal color format. It would be nice to have a checkbox like "Ignore dark mode color settings for clipboard" in the settings. Thanks!

• (2022-05-28, v:4.9.48) Tom Hodge: Overwrites Windows 11 style scrollbars in Edge
  Edge can have its flag set to enable Win11 style overlay scrollbars, but the webkit CSS in the Dark Reader extension seems to overwrite them. Having an option to disable the scrollbar changes would solve it. Turning off these rules temporarily solves it too, I'm going to see if I can make a stylesheet that can keep them cancelled out. ::-webkit-scrollbar { background-color: #202324; color: #aba499; }

• (2022-05-08, v:4.9.48) Christian Waits: How to enable Dark Reader on restricted pages?
  I want to enable Dark Reader on Chrome URLs (restricted pages). I see that the extension has the option to enable on restricted pages. I set it to Enabled. It states "You should enable it in browser flags too". I guess it refers to the Flag chrome://flags/#extensions-on-chrome-urls. I set that Flag to Enabled. But when I restart Chrome, I get a warning message: "You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --extensions-on-chrome-urls. Stability and security will suffer." And Dark Reader doesn't work on Chrome URLs. Additionally the warning message when starting Chrome, cannot be removed, unless the Flag is disabled again. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you very much for the Extension, which is excellent and essential nowadays. And I hope you can tell me how to resolve this issue.

• (2022-04-27, v:4.9.48) Chris Bloomfield: Multiple issues in latest version
  In the latest version there are 2 major issues: 1) Often, Dark Reader will activate on a page, but then make it completely invisible. 2) Clicking the buttons in the extension popup doesn't seem to work, eg. the on/off toggle. The first click registers but doesn't update the GUI, then subsequent clicks seem to do nothing. Same with the alt+shift+d shortcut: Works the first time, then stops working.

  When using Google Docs with your extension, any images in the document have their colors inverted, like a negative image. This occurs with the dynamic, filter and filter+ options, only the static filter avoids this, though the static filter does not change the page color so it remains quite bright.
