ShadowFox: Dark Theme Browser Extension

A Firefox browser extension that simplifies web browsing with a dark theme, modifying the UI and layout of popular websites for easier viewing.

What is ShadowFox?

ShadowFox is a browser extension available for Mozilla Firefox that allows users to enable a system-wide dark theme to provide an eye-friendly web browsing experience. It goes beyond just making the background dark - ShadowFox also modifies the interface, text colors, and layouts of many popular websites to make them adapt seamlessly to a dark color scheme.

Once installed and enabled, ShadowFox will transform the look of sites like Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, Google, Wikipedia, and hundreds of other sites to use a predominantly dark gray/black color palette instead of white backgrounds and bright text. It also themes the Firefox user interface itself to be dark. This reduces eyestrain and glare, especially for nighttime browsing.

Some of the key features of ShadowFox include:

  • Dark themes for hundreds of popular websites optimized for readability
  • Ability to customize which sites get themed and level of theme intensity
  • Forces dark mode on websites which have one but don't activate it by default
  • Dark scrollbars, menus, tabs and overall UI in Firefox itself
  • Regular updates with support for additional websites
  • Active open source development on GitHub

As an open source Firefox extension, ShadowFox is customizable, transparent in its code, and respects user privacy. It can provide a more pleasant viewing experience for many users without functionality or compatibility drawbacks. Its custom website modifications go far beyond just inverting colors, making it one of the most sophisticated dark mode add-ons available.
