Hello. I used to use Dark Reader but then some it changed hands and a very questionable update appeared and freaked many people out, so I uninstalled. IIRC the changes were removed, or the additional code was not correctly activated, maybe both. Anyway, you may wish to check the status of that particular extension. I use some flag in config now to do approximately the same thing, it’s not as effective, but it’s close.


Link to Dark Reader changing hands and questionable update?


I’ve had a search around and cannot find a single thing about it.

This is quite strange to me as I was very upset to uninstall it, and distinctly recall reading about the security concerns on this very website. But, whatever it was, I must infer that it was a flash in the pan about nothing.
