Dark Reader build script requires a JavaScript runtime, either Node.js or Deno. We recommend using Node.js, Deno support is experimental.
2. Phân Tích Diễn Biến & Tác Động Nổi Bật
You can install the extension from a file.
Install Node.js (we recommend LTS or higher, but any version at or above 15 will work). Download the source code (or check out from git).
Open the terminal in the root folder and run:
This will create a build/release/darkreader-chrome.zip file for use in a Chromium-based browser and a build/release/darkreader-firefox.xpi file for use in Firefox.
You can customize the build process by passing flags to build script. To see all flags, run npm run build — –help.
You can build Dark Reader with an alternative runtime called Deno. For this run deno:bootstrap script (e.g., via npm run deno:bootstrap or manually copy the command from package.json). Then run the same commands described above.
Please note that if you encounter the error Too many open files (os error 24), then you should use the newer version of Deno (preferably built from source or canary).
Bundling with official Firefox store signatures (experimental)
Before publication, extension stores provide digital signatures for extensions. These digital signatures certify the integrity of the archive (that the extension bundle did not get corrupted or bit-rotted) and that the extension store performed very basic extension validation.
3. Góc Nhìn Chuyên Gia & Xu Hướng Tiếp Theo
Dark Reader repository contains these digital signatures and you can add them to the extension bundle. The following will build Dark Reader for Firefox version 4.9.63:
Please note that only Firefox Add-ons store signatures are present in the repository right now. Also, due to NodeJS and TypeScript version compatibility, one might have to first check out the old revision (commit), then build the extension files, then check out the recent commit and create the bundle (by running only signature and zip steps).
You can use Dark Reader to enable dark mode on your website!
Then you can use the following code to control Dark Reader’s API:
… or if you are using ES modules:
Be aware that Dark Reader will add the chrome object onto the window object. These are to stub certain functions that the code will use. They originate from the webextension-api.
Automatically syncing the site fixes for every Dark Reader user was disabled because the GitHub team does not allow using GitHub as a content delivery network (CDN). The storage of these files would be expensive, and making requests to other resources would look suspicious. Each new release of Dark Reader will include the new changes.
However, this can be manually enabled with the following steps:
