User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity and effectiveness in toggling dark and light modes quickly, helping reduce eye strain, especially on sites with limited mode options, and praise its free availability. However, multiple users report it often fails to work properly, especially on Mac, and mainly uses color inversion rather than true theming, which can distort website colors. The extension lacks customization features like saving domain preferences, making it less versatile for some. Overall, it is valued but has notable reliability and functionality limitations.

Pros

Easy to toggle between dark and light modes with a single click.
Helpful for users who prefer dark mode or want to switch when websites only offer one mode.
Improves eye comfort for users sensitive to bright screens.
Free and simple to use compared to managing multiple extensions.
Works well on some websites and in certain Chrome installations.

Cons

Does not work on Mac as reported by users.
Often only inverts colors rather than using built-in website dark/light themes, causing color inaccuracies.
Sometimes does nothing or fails to toggle the mode at all.
Lacks advanced features like saving preferences per domain.
Too simplistic, leading to altered colors like logos appearing incorrect.

Thank you very much for this helpful extension. I hate that some apps/websites only provide a dark mode.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dark/Light Mode Toggle requires very minimum permissions.
