✨ Key Features

🌙

One-Click Toggle

Enable or disable dark mode instantly from the toolbar popup — no page reload required.

🎨

Waffles-Native Theming

Overrides DataCamp's own Waffles design-system CSS variables so every component looks intentionally dark.

Smooth Transitions

Background, text, and border colours animate seamlessly when you flip the switch — no harsh flashes.

🧠

Smart Emotion CSS Fix

Automatically detects and patches Emotion CSS-in-JS computed styles that CSS variables alone can't reach.

🔄

Synced Across Devices

Your preference is stored via Chrome Sync so dark mode follows you to every machine you sign in to.

Zero Performance Impact

Lightweight and dependency-free — just CSS overrides and a tiny content script. No external libraries.

🔒 Privacy First

No Data Collection

We never collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Your browsing stays yours.

🚫

No Tracking

Zero analytics, no cookies, no telemetry. There is no server — nothing phones home.

💻

Local Only

Everything runs in your browser. The only thing stored is your on/off preference via Chrome Sync.

📦 Installation

From Chrome Web Store

  1. Visit the DataCamp Dark Mode listing on the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click "Add to Chrome".
  3. Navigate to datacamp.com — the extension is ready to use immediately.
💡 Pro tip: Pin the extension to your toolbar for quick access — click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome and then the pin next to DataCamp Dark Mode.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

🔄

Some elements aren't switching to dark mode

Occasionally, dynamically-loaded page elements may not pick up the dark theme on the first toggle. Simply turn dark mode off and back on again using the extension popup — this forces the content script to re-scan the page and apply the fix to any missed elements.

🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

Overview

DataCamp Dark Mode is a browser extension that adds a dark theme to the DataCamp website (datacamp.com). This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your data — in short, it doesn't collect any.

Information We Don't Collect

What the Extension Does

Third-Party Services

This extension does not communicate with any third-party servers. It does not send or receive data over the network. The only external service referenced is the "Buy Me A Coffee" donation link, which is an optional, user-initiated action entirely outside the extension.

Permissions Explained

Data Security

Because no personal data is collected, there is no data to secure, transmit, or breach. Your toggle preference is stored locally in Chrome's synced storage, protected by your Google account.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. The extension will never begin collecting data without a clear, upfront disclosure.

Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach the developer via the Buy Me A Coffee page.

Your Consent

By using DataCamp Dark Mode, you consent to this privacy policy. Since the extension collects no data, there is nothing further to agree to.
