Short description
Makes every page to have light text on dark background (exact colors are customizable) Give pages a better dark mode by avoiding things like full white text on full black background.
Full summary

Dark Background and Light Text enables dark mode on every webpage. The exact colors are configurable and it can be disabled per domain e.g. on pages which have their own dark mode e.g. Youtube or Reddit.

  • Creates a dark mode of any page by inverting the original colors, background-colors, border-colors.
  • Unlike most "dark modes," Better Dark Mode reduces eye-strain by not allowing any RGB values below 50 or above 200 by default. Darkness and brightness limits can be customized by user.

Potential updates:

  • Find a way to avoid flash of non-darkened page before extension runs on page load
  • Store the active/inactive state as well as darkness/brightness limit variables Chrome-wide (currently using localStorage)
