This Chrome extension offers a sleek black theme that enhances your browser's appearance with a purple highlighted active tab, making navigation vibrant and stylish. It brightens key control icons like Forward, Back, and Refresh for better visibility and a smoother user experience. While designed primarily for Chrome, users should note that theme layouts may differ in Microsoft Edge due to browser-specific interfaces.

Note that Chromium-based browsers no longer support custom themes in Incognito or InPrivate modes due to enforced standard themes by Google. Removing the theme is straightforward via Chrome's Appearance settings. This extension is ideal for users seeking a minimalist dark interface with a touch of purple accentuation on their active tab.
