Works, but puts purple links on every page. I hate purple links.

Very buggy and doesn't even work on some websites, including the Chrome web store. Messes up the CSS of some websites terribly, and I don't mean just making it darker. In fact, the only website I tested it on that it worked flawlessly was the website it automatically takes you to when you first install the extension.
