Description

This extension makes YouTube website look much easier on your eyes at night time. It adds a nice dark theme to YouTube with a smooth black background. a. Automatically sets a dark theme for all YouTube pages. b. Has an in-page switch button (at top-right corner in YouTube website) to turn the dark theme ON or OFF. c. The addon has two dark themes. Theme (A) uses standard CSS techniques to darken the YouTube page. Theme (B) uses CSS filters to do this job. (use the in-page button to switch between these two themes). To report bugs, please visit addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/youtube-dark.html) and fill the bug report form.

how is this called a "dark mode"?

Can't seem to understand who in their right mind thinks absolutely no one watches videos in not fullscreen. Hopefully they decide to lower the utterly massive text so chunks of windowed video are no longer cut off or better yet doing what every other GOOD extension does and just puts the "Styles" and stuff in the extension.

This extension slowed down YouTube so much that I had to quit using it.

It looks great, however, much like a ton of Youtube dark themes, a lot of the text on Youtube doesn't show up when using this. Not sure why devs can't make this work correctly. With this particular extension, info such as date submitted and views just don't show up. One has to highlight the area to see that information. Why not fix that??

It's nice.... but there are some elements that doesn't work that great. Some text remains too dark to read... like the number of views in a video, and the publishing date. If it's possible to change those things, this will be a "always go" for me.

Otherwise great but some fonts are a bit too faded. View count and date for example

There are 2 different styles for the dark mode which I love, cant use youtube with the default white background anymore. But I have a problem with the style A, I cant see the video upload dates and some other information is missing too, theyre the same colour with the background. Now im using style B which shows everything, though I dont quite like the blue youtube logo and text. It would be awesome to be able to decide the colours myself. Is it possible?
