2024-03-16 da***** 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.)

2023-07-31 me***** I really appreciate this add-on, for the reason you give... Some pages have grey text that can't even be read. Are they paying for the ink that they can't make the text black? But I have two problems that take away one star: 1) I don't know what changed by now if I'm trying to write or answer a post on nextdoor.com , the text is invisible. If I highlight it with Ctrl-A, it's visible again but only until I do something. It took a while, but I found that if I right-click on the B in the add-on list and click "manual" it's visible, but only for a while. Firefox 115.0.3 64-bit Windows 10 22H2 fully updated as of 7/30/2023. I might have had trouble on one other page, the alerts page from a Capital One credit card. I would check things and the check marks wouldn't show. A month ago. If you make a change to Blacken and you want me to test this, just write me at meirman@erols.com 2) I don't understand the add-on. What is the difference between Blacken and Manual? What does Manual do? When would I use Whiten? .... I don't know what whiten does and if manual does Blacken, then what does blacken do?

2022-05-16 as***** Once you turn off "Process Links" in this add-on's Preferences, and set it to "Automatic", it is soooo slick. Increases the text contrast, automatically. You have to turn off "Process Links", or some pages (ie Google's Results pages) will not show that you've visited a particular link.
