• (2025-07-03) Dark Mode Reader is a fantastic extension for anyone looking to reduce eye strain during late-night browsing. It offers various color options that go beyond a simple inversion of colors, making your browsing experience visually pleasing. It's especially helpful when many websites tend to blind you with bright backgrounds at night. However, I have encountered some significant drawbacks. The extension can really slow down Chrome, particularly if you have more than 5 tabs open. My processor often maxes out, resulting in frustrating lag times of 3 to 15 seconds where I can't do anything. Initially, I thought my computer was the issue, but after deactivating the extension, everything worked smoothly again. It would be beneficial for the developers to address this resource-intensive problem, perhaps by providing a warning in the help section or offering a way to quickly deactivate the extension to reduce resource usage (would just simply turn dark mode off or must you disable it in the settings?). Another lightweight version with basic functionality for those who want to use dark mode without compromising performance would be a great addition. Overall, Dark Mode Reader is a wonderful tool for protecting your eyes, but be mindful of its impact on your system's performance. Awareness of this trade-off can help users better plan their browsing experience.
• (2025-07-03) Great extension. Except you need a quantum computer to run it on. It does the job alright. Except if you have many tabs open, your Chrome will gradually become slower and slower and slower to a point you may want to throw it out the window. Of a skyscraper. As someone who is really patient, this really gets my blood boiling. Also, I am not one that will make the effort of putting a negative review, yet, here I am. To the developer: As a developer myself, sure, I would actually pay for this, as I need it. However, it's just not fit for multiple tabs a and long time use. I am under Linux with the latest Chrome. I also have a really decent Dell XPS 15 with 64 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. I've also tried it under Thorium. This also happens even if I have a list of allowed sites.
• (2025-06-29) God, was there any new update, pages are now so dark, the white text are irritating to look at! please fix this. updating this after 8 months in july 2025 and the issues are only rising. what is going on?
• (2025-06-29) it's a great extension, but lately it has been causing STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION when accessing certain pages such as https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/grow/. this has started happening with the new chromium builds 138.0.7204.49 and above.

• (2025-06-23) Simply the best extension for forcing dark mode on pages. Works on most websites without making image content invert colors
• (2025-06-22) Gets the job done . Simple but so useful
• (2025-06-21) Mostly works good. Although it changes colors of icons that represent color options of products on online shopping websites, for example (black icon represents white color of product, etc.). Also checkboxes are sometimes messed up - you don't see if you checked the box or not. Pictures may look dark as well.

• (2025-06-14) This is a very good extension, but IMHO not worth $10. I've been using for many years, but now I have to uninstall it. Maybe if the price was a lower I would gladly pay for it.

• (2025-05-28) I absolutely love this extension!!! It works great...except, On some sites, it toggles cloudflare to constantly kick in. I hate cloudflare.
• (2025-05-27) you save my eyes
• (2025-05-26) the best Dark Mode Extension out here
• (2025-05-26) Not good. Items on a page disappear even when extension is off. When you ask for help, it wants you to pay $7.99 first.
• (2025-05-25) Sometimes annoying when you have to manually switch it off.
• (2025-05-23) you have to pay a subscription
• (2025-05-22) Recently this app completely turns webpages black, especially video players e.g. YouTube & can't see anything. Have to reload webpage or toggle the app to work again, which is vry frustrating. @Dark Reader admin, fix this issue, it's way overdue!
• (2025-05-21) very useful
• (2025-05-21) Very nice
• (2025-05-20) makes some websites very slow. For example Vinted is awful to use with the extension ON, the lag is unbearable.
• (2025-05-19) since i remove this extension now my youtube is inverted and i can t get it back to normal and now even if i install it back i get inverted screen, i can get to normala screen but for few min and it gets back to inverted , idk what to do so can anyone help me
• (2025-05-19) This is probably the best browser extension for the night theme. It is also open source, which is great because you don't have to worry about vulnerabilities or security. The code is open source, so you can customize it however you want. I hope to keep developing this freeware. You guys are the best!❤
• (2025-05-19) Perfect for reading
• (2025-05-18) Really buggy. 90% of the time it loads a black screen and I need to toggle the extension to get it to load properly.
• (2025-05-17) Why did this great extension become so unreliable and inconsistent in the last month? Can we revert the May 9 update?
• (2025-05-16) Excellent extension with plenty of customization options. It’s especially helpful in reducing eye strain.
• (2025-05-15) This has always worked great. I mostly use it in Google Docs and Sheets, which, for whatever reason, still don't have a native dark mode in 2025. However, as of today, the colors are off in Google Docs and Sheets. I can't find any yellows; they all have a dark, orange-brownish tint to them. I can fix the colors by switching to "Filter+" in the options, but this breaks the controls at the top of the page by turning it to a white block. You can still click the controls, but you can't see them. My Chrome just updated itself today, and I'd much sooner believe that Google broke the addon and not the other way around. Either way, this is about the best you can get if you want to use Google Docs in dark mode, so I'll deal until it's fixed.
• (2025-05-15) Earlier I would have given it a 5 star. I loved it. However, lately the extension is a bit buggy. The colors on some website appear weird; if you refresh the page, it goes back to normal. It also started lagging a lot, with a frequent message from the browser that Dark Reader is slowing down the loading please disable it. Also there is display issue when both the dark theme and the Dark Reader are turned on (YouTube, for example. it wasn't an issue in previous versions) Therefore, I'll currently give it only a 2 star until the developers fix it.
