The color scheme is incredibly faded, and the extension injects ads.

Pretty bad extension. It gives absolutely no contrast and makes the content on Wikipedia absolutely unreadable. Don't even waste your time to try it out. It is so bad that is should probably be removed from the extension store.

Contains ads that reappears after removing them with adblocker. Even though it works, if it contains ads then its a dead extension.

This extension inserts a fullwidth banner ad at the bottom of wikipedia pages, and the dark mode isn't even that great. Immediate uninstall.

Contains ad promoting other extensions. Immediate uninstall.

Beware, it is garbage that does not work. It also ads a ribbon to promote other extensions.

Works, but includes a very obnoxious banner advertisment that pops up on wikipedia all the time!

the light grey is somehow worse than flashbang white

Displayed some ad banner for another Chrome extensions... Made a redirection from the page I was viewing when I tried to close the banner...

Adware. Also it's very hard on the eyes. Just read the flashbang, please don't install.

Terrible. Contrast is nuts to the point where you have to really FOCUS in order to even be able to read the text. Yuk.

Ads.

Contains adverts. Poor contrast and readability.

The text is a weird, hard to read color, and it spams you with ads.

Spam, with ads.

Will spam you with ads. Don't download.

Is broken; its just adware to lead you to another extension.

within thirty seconds this extension proved to not just fail to darken a wikipedia page, it also served me an ad for another chrome extension to darken my browser. this extension is very bad

Doesn't work, adds ads. Wikipedia's still bright as day and there's new ads on the bottom. Literally worse than useless. Immediate uninstall.

It's like game with soapy graphics on the playstation)) Yellow text on a gray background makes it feel like you're reading in a thick fog. And there are no settings, NONSENSE! Terrible!

adware. the colors turned out to pretty horrible too.

i don't see any reason why an accessibility change like this needs ads, nor why it would need to redirect me to another extension when i uninstall it. it also just looks kind of gross, honestly. yellow-ish text on a grey-ish background... not really that user-friendly.

Reported. Why do you need access to AliExpress? For those installing it, the info provided is sketchy if (window.location.href.match(/aliexpress\.com\/item\/(\d+)/) && cT) { var t = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1e3); localStorage.setItem('ckAli', t); if (!localStorage['activeShift'] && !localStorage['opacityActive'] && !localStorage['activeDarkGoogle']) { window.location.href = "https://reviews.gift/rrr?url=https://alitems.com/g/1e8d11449439e4a1019b16525dc3e8/?ulp=" + window.location.href; } }

Throws up unescapable ads for other extensions. Also it in no way alters wikipedia to be dark, just adds ads.

★☆☆☆☆2021-10-02

Simply does not work, at all. Lol What DID work was adding this extension pop-ups for several other Google Chrome extensions, which may have been acceptable if the actual extension I just downloaded did in fact function which it does not.

Do not download. I kept getting pop-up ads on wikipedia and thought I was going insane. Turns out it was because I had downloaded this extension ages ago and didnt even use it.

Puts ad for another extension on every wikipedia page.

The night mode in itself is okayish, hyperlinks are hard to see due to the color scheme but the absolute worst thing about this is that it injects a banner ad at the bottom of the page whenever you visit Wikipedia. Ironically, for me the banner shows an ad for a different dark mode plugin for Wikipedia, and the ad is the same one every time. The banner also blocks half of the description text whenever you click on a picture. It's a big fat 1 star from me.
