This is a good addon it doesn't always work perfectly and the settings are a little confusing as to what I should tinker with to increase the contrast of text. Please add some clarification in lain language as to what setting does what. (I want to know what makes the text darker exactly, tks much.)

Doesn't work well for me. Color changes are tiny PS. Automatic mode can't be disabled from Toolbar button. You have to disable it from Options

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Blacken requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Blacken is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
