What is the best extension for dark mode/theme/etc. for chromium based browsers? I am in front of the screen for extended period of time. So these dark extensions are great. However, I found some don't display properly (e.g., some items may be missing) while some are slow.

What would you recommend? Thanks.

Dark Reader Plug-in. I use it in Edge (Chromium) and Firefox. It works pretty well.

In Edge I tried a lot of dark themes until I found Aurora-Multicolor tabs. It's a space theme . I love it, mainly for its colored tabs, but the background is really nice to look at.

in the address bar place ..

chrome://flags
or
edge://flags

depending on browser.
this will take you to the experiments page.
then search for 'Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents'

set this to enabled and then everything you browse to that supports dark mode will be in dark mode.

hope this is of help and best of luck. Steve ..
