Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This eye-care extension enables night mode by creating dark themes for websites on the fly. Dark Reader inverts bright colours to make web pages high contrast and easier to read.

Adjust brightness, contrast, the sepia filter, font preferences. Enable dark mode on every web page or give websites a sepia tone. Enable or disable Dark Reader for specific websites, automatically sync with system dark mode, or detect already dark websites and leave them unchanged.

This is the original Dark Reader extension. Since 2014, we continuously evolve alongside modern web technologies to deliver fast and reliable dark mode support for people sensitive to bright light.

By installing the extension you agree to these terms of use https://darkreader.org/terms/

真的是夜間模式插件

Шикарно! Порадовала настройка для каждого сайта отдельно. Было бы круто включать приложение по указанному времени, например вечером.

這才是真正的全黑主題

Działa super i nie zmienia po prostu tła na kompletnie czarne, tylko na trochę jaśniejsze i dostosowuje tekst tak, aby wszystko było przejrzyste. Polecam.

Хорошее и полезное дополнение. Надо много читать ВКЛ, и глаза не так устают.

AI product read

Enables dark mode on every website by dynamically generating dark themes in real-time

Reduces eye strain and fatigue caused by bright white websites during night browsing or for light-sensitive users

Install extension → it automatically applies dark themes to all websites → user can toggle on/off via popup or keyboard shortcut → adjust brightness/contrast/sepia settings → optionally disable for specific sites → settings sync via chrome.storage

Target users: Night-time web browsers / Users with light sensitivity or eye strain / Accessibility-focused users / Developers and power users who prefer dark interfaces

Cannot inspect darkreader.org/support-us/ donation page to confirm it's purely voluntary and not a paywall
Cannot verify that 'Dark Reader Plus' (mentioned in some locale descriptions) is truly a separate product and not an upsell tier within this extension

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension itself is completely free with no feature gating, subscription, or payment processing. A voluntary 'Donate' button links to darkreader.org/support-us/ (ui/popup/index.js:1702, 6254-6275). The 'pay_for_using' message (line 152-153 in en/messages.json: 'Pay for using Dark Reader') is a voluntary donation prompt, not a paywall. No premium/pro tier exists within this extension. Some locale files (ja, ko) mention 'Dark Reader Plus' as a separate paid mobile product with premium UI themes, but that is a distinct external product, not a feature of this browser extension. No Stripe, billing API, license check, or subscription logic exists in the codebase.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login, authentication, or account creation is needed. The extension operates entirely locally using chrome.storage for settings persistence. The 'login' keyword hits in source are false positives: 'logInfo' (debug logging at background/index.js:3549) and CSS 'token' parsing functions (background/index.js:1080-1886). The 'session' hit is sessionStorage for local UI state (inject/fallback.js:7). No account management, OAuth, or credentials flow exists in the codebase.
