This Is The Best Extension For Dark mode On google!

AquaPlxyzz YT, 2021-03-05

FINALLY! A dark mode for Google search that does actually work and not half work, sorta, but 50% is blacked out... it actually works. Thank you, I will report any issues to try to help. Just be aware this is the only *fully working (as far I can tell so far) dark mode for Google search, I've tried dozens and dozens but they're all half baked.
