Genuinely curious, is "25 seconds" a typo?

I am not surprised. Dark Reader have to wait for the whole page downloaded before doing all the calculation on a page with lots of animations and other graphics image over features and CSS layout. ( And it is worst if the image has a white background and not transparent ) There are some page that are just problematic. So generally speaking it is not a very good browsing experience.

In defense of Dark Reader, you can switch its mode for all or just some sites. There's a mode, where it does not parse existing CSS and just injects its own.
