Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension for its multiple dark modes, simplicity, and effectiveness in reducing eye strain across various websites and platforms. However, common issues include occasional failures to remember presets, lack of per-site disablement features, and bugs with recent Chrome versions leading to incorrect theme application. Despite these, it remains a favored extension for night reading due to its ease of use and reliability on most sites.

  • Effectively darkens most websites, including Google Docs, helping reduce eye strain.
  • Simple and fast interaction, directly accessible from the menu icon.
  • Consistently remembers user preferences for dark mode on most sites.
  • Works well across different browsers and platforms, including Chrome on Linux and Vivaldi.

Cons

  • Fails to remember or applies incorrect dark mode presets on certain websites, requiring multiple clicks to correct.
  • Lacks ability to disable or ignore specific websites that already have a dark theme, causing inverted or broken colors.
  • Settings are limited to presets and can be ineffective or non-functional for some users.
  • Sometimes requires manual page reload after enabling to apply the dark mode properly.
  • Buggy behavior with recent Chrome versions, causing wrong themes to be applied on page load.
