- (2025-09-04) 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!
- (2025-09-04) 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.
- (2025-09-03) 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
- (2025-09-02) 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.
- (2025-09-01) they are nice and u dont have to pay unless u want to but cool
- (2025-08-31) 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.
- (2025-08-31) It glitches turns my screen black very frequently when turned on. I even had to restart my computer to remove this.
- (2025-08-30) Working overall, god bless!
- (2025-08-27) Works and is free!
- (2025-08-27) 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.
- (2025-08-26) Works everywhere, simple to use and with many configs if you need.
- (2025-08-25) Using it brave browsers, behaves same across all chromium browsers. There's a terrible bug on "invert listed only" I have to refresh pages twice after the first load for this extension to effect on each page. For example, I added the URL: https://www.bloomberg.com on "invert listed only" Now, say I am reading this page: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-22/meta-to-license-ai-lab-midjourney-s-tech-in-new-partnership I have to refresh it twice for this extension to take effect or to enable dark mode on that page!! Very annoying user experience. Keeps asking for donations while major functionalities are broken, annoying.
- (2025-08-25) I dont know why but it doesnt work, i have to keep refreshing the window untill it works which is annoying, is there any work around?
- (2025-08-23) best extension ever!
- (2025-08-21) Good
- (2025-08-19) Seems to work almost every site, EXCEPT THE STORE WHERE YOU DOWNLOAD IT!!!
- (2025-08-19) Yahoooo!!! Of all the dark mode extensions I've tried, this is the ONLY one that works on aliexpress.com and aliexpress.us AND it looks AliExpress look fabulous!
- (2025-08-17) Works great!
- (2025-08-14) Useful
- (2025-08-14) Hands Down One The Best I Have Used Thus Far' Don't Change It! It is Perfect the way it is. Thank You
- (2025-08-11) it's not worth that price.
- (2025-08-10) Is fine for most content, if the content doesn't include images, or particular html code, like with google docs. It inverts images when they should not be touched for Dark Mode, making them look terrible. It has been an issue for years but never addressed. My list of excluded sites is so long it's almost useless to me as an addon and I pray for my sites to just have native dark mode functionality.
- (2025-08-09) Takes forever to load, and blinds the vast majority of the screen before it does so, replacing it with a solid color. Even if the plugin is turned off or disabled for that specific website, it still does this. Done more harm than good.
- (2025-08-07) this is really good
- (2025-08-04) Suddenly stopped working on half of the sites I visit (google, yandex, etc.).
- (2025-08-02) full of bugs (always different ones), and dev never responds to emails from people who do his work for him and report them (with steps to reproduce).
- (2025-07-31) great
- (2025-07-31) Love this extension.
- (2025-07-29) Works very well. It also gives you the option to adjust the page brightness and contrast which I find very helpful.
- (2025-07-28) SHOULD NOT DEFAULT TO DARK MODE. If dark mode makes things worse for a particular website (which will OFTEN be the case), that puts the onus on users to IMMEDIATELY figure out how to disable it when they've just installed the plugin. That's a failing design defect for me.
- (2025-07-26) Worked instantly! Thanks!
- (2025-07-26) favs
- (2025-07-25) Do I have to pay to use Darkreader? Absolutely not.
- (2025-07-25) good
- (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.
