Eric Ketzer (ID: 000000366f16dbf6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/14/2023 hidden gem! dark mode works perfectly on every sites, but would be much better if it would be a plain dark instead of a bricky dark one, though. bad note, the last update was in 2018 (!!!). that would be fine if the extension was working perfectly, but the widget to customize seems to not recording the changes we are making. Like you write the sites you don't want the extension to apply on the blacklist, you save and then the extension still applies its dark mode on those excluded sites. It definitely needs an update to correct that problem.

cherixberry (ID: 0000007666b13305) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/28/2021 It works great on every single site except the one I actually want it to work on, which is Google Freaking Docs. Why does no dark mode work on Docs anymore??? Just rip my freaking eyeballs out of my head it'd hurt less.
