The popular Dark Reader is not affected by this as far as I know. Only this knock off for the edge browser. Source: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT1XgBs25gRlg5e3nYCAff967WMtZZTO-TB3rR9zszaJpTpCVFg8j7FkBxnHb3tw3aHGjKBGSxYyLgV/pubhtml

I use the inbuild Dark Mode in Vivaldi (on/off with shortcut, wors even in intern pages and menus) and none of the extensions from the list, most extensions from the Store anyway are redundant in Vivaldi translation, reader mode, tabs, feeds, ad/tracker blocker…)

It’s disheartening seeing screen readers on this list. That seems predatory.
I’ll save everybody a click because it’s what we all want to know. “Dog Facts Unlimited” extension is on the list.
My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.

“Cat Facts Unleashed” too… My heart is sinking and I am dying now…

That is not THE Dark Reader! Only this knock off for the edge browser is affected.

Definitely read the original SecureAnnex article as well. The behavior of this software and the people behind it are damning.

Ethical way to monetize apps on Windows, Android, and Fire Stick
By ethical it means you bury an agreement in the terms and services.
I used Youtube unhook in the past but before the AI craze so I’m probably good.
I know a lot of people use Dark Reader so that’s gotta hurt.
Other than that I think I’m safe.
The popular Dark Reader is not affected by this.
I see Dark Reader for Edge but not Firefox. Are they the same extension?
This is from Mozilla
Dark Reader doesn’t show ads and doesn’t send user’s data anywhere. It is fully open-source https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader
They seem to all link back to the same github page.
