User reviews

This extension has dramatically improved my web accessibility in general. I have astigmatism and reading light text on a dark theme burns my eyes into my vision after a few seconds and may take minutes to dissipitate. I am aware the trend for the last few years is 'dark mode/theme' and a lot of web pages have now adopted the light text on dark background aesthetic, which is fine for the most part, but they fail to make it accessible to half the worlds population that have astigmatism with a simple toggle like this extension is doing.
