It is not working on the latest release of the BBC website which is complete white. I would like to use this tool but it either doesn't work on the home page, or changes the article page black but the words stay dark so are not visible. Please update to allow as I would be really grateful to this add-on. I understand this could be hard to upkeep. Maybe you could collect taken value for installation?
