Dark Mode for Firefox

Most platforms, applications and online services nowadays are implementing the dark theme, especially if they are designed to keep the user in front of the screen for prolonged periods of time. However, not everybody considers this aspect when it comes to, for example, web design. As most of us know by now, the majority of websites sport a white background, which some people may find hurtful for their eyes. If you have a medical problem that prevents you from being exposed to bright lights or just prefer to use the dark theme whenever it's available, you might be in luck. Dark Mode for Firefox is a neat extension that can add a dark theme to every site you visit.

After the add-on is installed, a small orange switch pops up on the extension bar. Besides the switch, there is no interface or other menus or functions.

To activate the add-on and apply the dark mode to a website, all you have to do is click on the switch. Upon activation, the dark theme is applied instantly, and the button turns black.

During our test, we applied the dark mode to a few different sites. The theme fills any background without issue, but in a couple of instances, the dark mode made some dropdown/combo menus become invisible. This issue might occur due to the font used for those menus, as they were blending perfectly with the theme. However, this small detail does not affect a site's layout in any way, so it cannot be considered a critical issue.

Dark mode is a great extension for users who prefer to save their eyes from the bright white background used on most websites. Also, it is recommended for anybody who works during the night or just likes a darker theme.
