Dark Mode Extension

Dark Mode is an extension that helps you quickly turn the screen (browser) to dark at night time.

Toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch which enables you to easily and quickly turn the extension ON or OFF. If you do not like the current dark theme, please visit the options page and choose a different theme from over 50 available options.

There is also a white-list feature which enables you to exclude a desired domain from dark mode. Simply add a domain(s) to the designated area (comma separated) in the options page and the websites will be excluded from night mode. Alternatively, you can use the context-menu item in mouse right-click to exclude desired websites.

To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/dark-mode.html).

Sabrina Ergert (ID: 00000064a67f2924) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/10/2024 Bis zur Version 0.4.5 war alles in Ordnung mit dieser Erweiterung. Jetzt ist die Wikipedia Medienseite hell und bei Amazon ist die Leiste mit den alternativen Anbietern einer Ware ebenfalls hell und man sieht nicht mehr was man eintippt ins Suchfeld bei Amazon. Schade das es hier keinerlei Möglichkeiten gibt zum downgraden auf die Version 0.4.5 wie bei Firefox. Dort habe ich downgegradet und jede weitere Aktualisierung dieser Erweiterung in den Einstellungen untersagt. Weiß jemand wo ich eine frühere Version dieser Erweiterung finde damit wieder alles glatt läuft?

Michiel (ID: 000000321cb4fc61) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/29/2024 Gebruik het al jaren, maar heb mijn Google moeten resetten en sinds toen werkt de extensie niet meer, ook niet na verwijderen, herstarten, etc. Zeer jammer want standaard Google maakt de zoekbalk niet zwart.
