yoo this works with resist fingerprinting
Did anyone actually test how fast it is compared to Dark Reader?
Calling yourself “the fastest” is all nice and good, but some benchmarks would be nice.
Yep, people have benchmarked:
- Firefox without any Dark Mode addon = 27 points Speedometer
- With Dark Reader = about 11 points
- With UltimaDark = 25-26 points
Try it your self. Use a pretty low end device. You will see difference. It’s life saver for my eyes and pretty old computer.
My “pretty low end device” is an Android, which they do not support. :/
It does, enable Desktop Mode and install
Just use Cromite for dark mode! ;) …
…oh shit, wrong sub.
Ah it doesn’t work on Android? A pity, that’s where I need dark mode the most.
Dark Reader works a charm on Android.
It works but it’s config interface looks borked
Edit: NVM, it also breaks some sites
I just tried it on a Firefox fork and it works fine.
Just go to the link in OP, then enable Desktop Mode in Firefox. That will let you install it.
Didn’t tried on android.
Pro tip: Firefox can do dark mode natively, if you’re ready to accept some ugly websites.
Settings > Manage colors >then set your preferred hues andOverridetoAlways.It’s blazing fast with zero white flash, and most sites are perfectly legible.
While I’m glad they’re trying this, it has the same problem as Brave, no configuration. Dark Reader lets you configure individual site profiles via a toggle of static/dynamic/etc to fix ones that don’t work well. Without that, nothing will compare.
Is there a way for the same on Firefox on Android, Fenix?
Dark Reader has been in development since 2014 and is much more polished
On my rather old FP3 it spares me a few seconds per page load and the result seems quite comparable to dark reader.
Dark Reader is intensive, I will give this a shot. So far so good on FF mobile.
Yea, It uses native features of Gecko engines that’s why it’s faster than Dark Reader.
How did you install it on mobile? Do you need to use the nightly?
Nope, you can install extensions to regular FF for a while on Android. Go to addons.mozilla.org and install like how you would do it on desktop. Request desktop site if extension claims to be incompatible.
Thanks! I was missing the desktop site trick 👍
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I can’t find a source link. Is this open source? I was curious about finding information comparing it to darkreader
thanks for the suggestion
Anyone tried this with twitch? I just get a gray screen instead of video. Anyone else? Really like this extension otherwise
Twitch already has a dark mode available in the settings.
The issue is more that the extension doesn’t seem to properly let sites bypass or something. I have to turn the extension off and refresh to get picture back.
Don’t use dark mode as it is bad for privacy
How so?
What?
It makes you unique from a fingerprinting perspective.
