User reviews
cool addon, but what about work with .raw .yml .xml .js .fb2 and other user-defined extensions?

I love the idea, but I have two issues with it: 1) I'd love to be able to enter an RGB color code instead of choosing from a list of 6 combinations, 2) The 'Automatically activate' option is broken - every time I open a .txt, or refresh it, it's random whether the extension takes effect or not.

Safety
Risk impact

dark.txt requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install dark.txt if you trust the publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

dark.txt has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
