    I have to publish a bug fix for a version, that is Pending Review, and it is not possible to submit the new update before the previous one was removed.

    Chromium team fixed this issue by showing theme background color by default. So you should install some dark theme, e.g. this one https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/material…

    No. You can locate the files of the extension and ensure that it doesn't make anything severe, the code is not obfuscated.

    Unfortunately Chrome and Firefox API has no this feature yet. Time Settings (ability to set active hours) were implemented recently and soon will be published.

    Of course it will be cheaper. When you take some code from the original Dark Reader, obfuscate it, add some features, then you can put a $2 label.

    When the amount of donations will be enough, then I would be able to publish the source code of the Safari app. But currently it is the major source of revenue and it lets me conti…

    Stylus already does it well, so I think you could use Stylus for such websites. UserStyles.org is still owned by SimilarWeb, so I would stay away from it. What is planned is to add…

    Yes, it works in Firefox for Android and in Yandex browser. The only issue with Firefox is white user interface and white default color.

    The browser doesn't separate what injected script can do and what it can't. Regarding Dark Reader, it needs to know page URL to determine if it is blacklisted by your settings or n…

    Sorry, I'm not sure that publishing a paid app source code would be a good idea. There is a chance that somebody will publish the same app under different name. Somebody has alread…

    If you prefer dark text on dimmed background try Dark Reader's light (dimmed) mode https://i.imgur.com/H38tpIS.png

    Your code is based on CSS filters. Dark Reader provides this mode too, but also allows users to fix and share wrongly inverted parts https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/blob/m…

    Dark Reader provides all 3 possible modes: - Static: simple and fast. - Filter: simple, but uses GPU very much and usually inverts already dark parts. - Dynamic: complex, but tries…

    Dark Reader also offers static CSS support https://darkreader.org/blog/stylish/ Global CSS will work well on text websites. For many others it will break up the coloring and make p…

    Bad performance in Firefox is a known issue and I'm working on improving it. It's not an issue in Chrome and Safari. Low performance can be noticeable in new GMail design, but the …
