## Description

Dark Theme for Instagram™ is a Chrome extension that lets you switch Instagram's website to a sleek dark mode effortlessly. Featuring a togglable button on your browser toolbar, you can enable or disable the dark theme in an instant. The extension utilizes an "invert" filter approach, reversing page colors and selectively restoring elements to create a true dark theme effect.

Beyond the basic dark mode, it empowers users with two advanced features: the ability to insert custom CSS styling rules on each page, tailoring the appearance precisely to your preference, and an automatic dark mode activation based on your defined daylight and nightlight schedule. This means Instagram can seamlessly shift between light and dark modes depending on the time of day.

Please note, this is an independent extension and is not affiliated with Instagram or its creators.
