High Contrast - Chrome Extension for Easier Webpage Reading

"High Contrast" is a Chrome Extension designed for ease of reading. It applies various high-contrast color filters to web pages, effectively inverting colors where black becomes white and vice versa. This feature can be toggled on/off at ease and is customizable per-site basis. Unlike other extensions, it does not interfere with the site's default colors, hence preventing webpage breakages. However, it doesn't affect photos, built-in pages like New Tab, Settings page, and the Chrome Web store.
