    Dark Reader has been in development since 2014 and is much more polished

    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 and Override to Always.

    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.

    Although it works well, this is so experimental, it makes lab rats look like seasoned professionals.

    Looks good, but I wait until its proven and stable.

        Because of the fact that UltimaDark is going the hardest route, using a totally different API, unlike Dark Reader

    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.
