Colin C. (ID: 000000dea8429db4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/06/2021 This extension prevents twitch.tv from remembering your theme setting, defaulting to light theme. If you use twitch, don't use this extension.

Irakli Charkhalashvili (ID: 000000557324cb06) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/28/2021 This is better than native dark mode of Github. But needs a small update so that title bar was also black. Everything else is great.

(ID: 000000adfbf2735c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/16/2021 Looks great. I'd give it 5 stars if it worked on GitHub Enterprise as well.

Cayden Everseeker (Everseeker) (ID: 0000000d979421f3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/24/2021 Only 1 small gripe. I use this with Zenhub. 90% of the screens are correctly "Dark", however, the background of the Story view is still white :(

Matt Newell (ID: 0000008073fd421a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/19/2021 Despite finally adding a dark mode after all these years, GitHub still didn't manage to get the colors to look good. I use this extension on top of it anyway because I love the color scheme (and thankfully now when elements break it's not noticeable since the dark theme is still applied underneath!)
