In terms of the most balanced in speed, consistency in page rendering and good default settings, is there a clear winner?
Personally I've been using both Dark Reader and Midnight Lizard on different devices and I can't say I noticed much of a difference in terms of performance, what I did notice is that Dark Reader seems to have better defaults, but many complain that it slows down page loading a ton, I haven't heard the same about Midnight Lizard, but maybe that is by virtue that it has way way fewer installations and therefore fewer people talking about it.
Do you know if I've missed one and there is a totally different extension that does even better than both?
Dark reader
Flawless. Works so smoothly that I have forgotten I use it.
is dark reader regularly pinging home?
Really? Never heard about that, though I had my suspicion something fishy might have been going on with all those sponsors piling up on their website, I’d like to see a source for that though, after all the extension is still open source
Yes it think it is.
I have a nextdns set up. And I see dark reader phoning home regularly.
That picture isn’t loading.
