## Description

Anthracite is a clean, modern dark mode extension that brings a flatter, more readable dark theme to the web with a single click.

It applies a carefully designed theme across pages, buttons, forms, menus, search fields, popovers, tabs, and other common interface elements, while keeping text legible and preserving the structure of each site. Anthracite is built to load quickly, switch instantly, and stay visually stable during navigation.

What Anthracite offers
-One-click universal dark mode for everyday browsing
-Fast, lightweight page theming designed to avoid flicker and unnecessary overhead
-Thoughtful page structure detection so headers, footers, navigation, search bars, and controls stay visually distinct
-Readable text and muted colour translation that preserves useful contrast without harsh glare
-Theme support with included Anthracite presets such as Classic, OLED, Graphite, Obsidian, Cinder, Moonlight, Velvet, and Linen
-Custom themes so you can create, name, save, and reuse your own palette
-Per-site controls including the ability to disable Anthracite on individual websites
-Fun optional extras such as glow links and cursor effects, disabled by default
-Settings page with previews and theme management built directly into the extension
-No telemetry, no remote config, and no unnecessary background services
-Designed for a better dark mode

Anthracite is made for people who want dark mode to feel intentional instead of inverted, muddy, or overprocessed. It focuses on consistent surfaces, strong readability, tasteful contrast, and a cleaner overall browsing experience across the modern web.
