Description

Do you like using Wikipedia on your computer? Try installing this extension to protect your eyes when you use Wikipedia on your desktop computer at night time. Night Mode for Wikipedia allows you to rest your eyes when you use the Wikipedia website at night. It allows you to change the background to black and the text is changed to white color. This would reduce the stress on your eyes when you are surfing Wikipedia at night. To turn dark mode on and off for the Wikipedia website, just click on the extension icon when you're on the Wikipedia website. You can toggle the dark mode/night mode for Wikipedia to be on and off. Please note this extension is NOT created by Wikipedia and is created by a team of independent developers. We're constantly updating this extension and you can e-mail us if the extension is not working as Wikipedia updates their desktop website and can cause our extension to break.

The contrast is very good. I say better than Wikipedia's official Dark Mode that has been out recently. But sadly this extension keeps on resetting and crashing. Usually incompatible with enabled Gadgets offered in Wikipedia. Especially those that come by the Vector 2010 Design. As much as I want to like this extension, it is quite troublesome as a Wikipedian Editor. Crashing the page unexpectedly, constant reloading, the incompatibility with source editing. Not to mention the long loading times (had you not gotten in a crash) that takes up to a half to even a minute of waiting. I might have a differing opinion that normal readers. Maybe the only one critical here; as others click 5 stars away. Nevertheless, if you want to have this extension, better to have it as a casual reader of Wikipedia than using it for, lets say, initial research or editing. 3/5.

Overall good. However, it appears not to work with math - the images are not inverted, so it's impossible to read at night. It would also be good if there was a mode to follow the system dark mode. Gwern's guidelines are pretty good: https://gwern.net/design#dark-mode
