• (2024-08-23) Shanniah Honda: !(My opinion)! this is actually good and my eyes since my eyes hurts when i see like smth (Something) bright
• (2024-08-05) David N: Used to be great but now looks terrible. Cant see most text as its pale on white most of the time.
• (2024-08-01) Capt. Calcium: Great, but it doesn't work half of the time and the left side of the screen turns a blinding white
• (2024-05-29) Justin Block: EDIT: The "react", "Reply", and "more" buttons seem to have more contrast now! I have zero complaints. FIVE STARS! Wonderful extension! I would like to mention that recently the "react", "reply", and "more" options are difficult to see lately. I assume FB changed something, but if that could be resolved I'd be a very happy camper.
• (2024-05-22) Matthew Stromberg: Such an improvement, 5/5 stars! Only feedback is that the chat icon is too dark to see in this mode, but you can still clearly see the word "chat" so it's not too bad
• (2024-05-19) Ivan Malinovski: It's amazing and works great on Messenger.com per 19/05/2024 - should've just been included in Messenger in the first place.
• (2024-05-16) Jonathan Pineault: May 16th 2024 - EDIT The extension stopped working preperly again, everything is white! Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Jan 12th 2024 - EDIT The extension stopped working properly today, the background of conversations is bright white unfortunately. Meta is probably messing with the rendering of conversations... I hope it gets fixed well! (I just can't understand why a dark mode is not proposed by Facebook Messenger itself!) Oct 30th 2023 - EDIT The extension was fixed!!! Thanks for helping my eyes ;) Oct 24th 2023 This extension was good until few days ago... Now the messages I receive are white and (almost) unreadable! Maybe it's becacuse of a Google Chrome update???

• (2024-05-16) Lubomir Lukco: With the extension on Messenger does not even load.
• (2024-05-08) Thuận Huỳnh Minh: RIP extension
• (2024-05-03) Paul Michael Negado: 5 Stars because it gets the job done. Thank you!!
• (2024-04-01) Tsuna: Very good extension if you don't want to download the dedicated messenger app. This extension does its job perfectly.
• (2024-03-31) Cameron: Bug seems to be fixed now - my preferred method of making messenger less blindingly bright - how this isn't a default option is beyond me
• (2024-03-21) Archen Dodson: Yall need to relax. This has happened before (the extension not working because Facebook updated messenger again) and the developer fixed it. Give the dude time. This is a free extension he developed and likely needs a few days to not only see these reviews but also figure out a way around making it work with messenger's new update (which they do frequently).
• (2024-03-20) Adam Pliszka: Here's a fix for the white incoming message background problem: -Delete or disable this extension -Install the Stylus extension -When the Messenger website is opened, open Stylus, click "find styles", sort by installs -Choose a style - "Messenger Dark", the most popular one, works out of the box -If you want to use a style that doesn't work right now but you like it more, you can fix it yourself by editing the style - search for the line containing "chat-incoming-message-bubble-background-color" and add "!important" at the end of the line before the semicolon. The line should look like this "--chat-incoming-message-bubble-background-color: #303030!important;" -Stylus also has the advantage that you can find a style that suits you best, or if you're a power user you can modify the colors yourself to your liking
• (2024-03-20) Alvi Sheikh: please dev fix the bug. Now the chat bubbles is pitch white. For that cant real the message because the message is also in white and for that it blends in with the chat bubble.
• (2024-03-20) Josue Ruiz: The app was great in pre-2024. Recently new changes in the app cause chat bubbles to come up white and it makes this extension unusable. 😔
• (2024-03-20) Parantar, Prince Marc L.: Chats are white, I can't read them.
• (2024-03-20) Sebum Song: I've been using it well ever since 2020. Does no longer hurts my eyes and honestly can't use messenger without this theme. But recently I've noticed that every time I apply dark theme, the background of the chats just turns into white, which eventually makes me unable to see the messages they sent me. I'm pretty sure this is a bug and I hope this to be fixed as soon as possible.
• (2024-03-20) Trisha Gonzales: i thought it was ok now (after removing it for a few months) but the bug that makes the bg of the chat bubbles turn to white is back after a week of using it again. i thought it was only on MS Edge but turns out it is the same for chrome as well. is this extension still being maintained???

• (2024-03-20) Shardul: Used to love this as it worked for a long time but this extension broke, I am forced to disable it now. Messages colors seem to be inverted now and it is unreadable. Further more, I dont't see a Charcoal modification setting on top left of Messenger anymore. Please fix.

• (2024-03-04) Mark Gil Iturralde: Oh yes! This is perfect! Thank you!
• (2024-02-29) Zoltán Pintér: i came
• (2024-02-09) Er1x: great extension but message settings (react, reply, more, and forward) needs to be recolored, it cant be seen well
• (2024-01-31) István Péter Járay: Works perfect usually. When facebook makes a change, they also have to update the script. It's not their fault but I want to report one such newly-emerged bug: The icons next to chat messages (more, reply, respond) are not appearing, but upon hovering over, their area is highlighted and the text-modal shows the related text. Nothing that breaks functionality, but creates nuissance. Otherwise, I adore this plugin. They'll soon get this fixed too as usual.

• (2024-01-23) Alex: Does not work as intended as of 10/23/23... dark mode grays out text in chats making it extremely difficult to read Edit: not sure when it was fixed but works as intended now :) Any reviews mentioning white text bubbles have not updated their review to reflect the update.
