- (2025-03-06) Clayton Pratt (Docpratt): Doesn't work properly all of sudden. One has to highlight to read the scripts. Having to uninstall. Completely unusable.
- (2025-01-15) Sam Lulua: Text too dark on the page. The header is not dark.
- (2024-09-26) Tony Brear: Works great, the banner on the sports scores and fixtures needs fixing if you get the chance, cheers
- (2024-08-28) mike wilsher: Dark mode yeah,.. the text however is dark also and I can't read the text,... I wanted this to work. Grrrr. Please look into this.
- (2024-03-27) S M: Thanks for making this, it works great.
- (2024-03-15) Patrick Arthur: It is not working on the latest release of the BBC website which is complete white. I would like to use this tool but it either doesn't work on the home page, or changes the article page black but the words stay dark so are not visible. Please update to allow as I would be really grateful to this add-on. I understand this could be hard to upkeep. Maybe you could collect taken value for installation?
- (2024-03-06) Richard Toulson: Oh no, it's stopped working on Chrome. I used to really enjoy it. It's back as you said it would be. So happy!! Thank you - can I buy you a coffee?
- (2022-02-24) Josh F: Thanks very much for this extension, it works great! I was having issues with BBC News clashing with the default chrome/windows dark theme, causing it to be unreadable, installing this has fixed it. Thanks again for your time put into making this :)

- (2021-08-20) Sushruta Bhattacharjee: Works... barely. The headlines are almost unreadable. But this is the only BBC Dark mode extension on offering, so gotta use it.
