❇️ It's compact, with less than 3KB of core code implementation. ❇️ Lightweight, it has no dependencies and only uses native CSS for implementation. ❇️ Safe and discreet, it only requires permission to read TAB page information for style injection and does not access any other permissions or information. ❇️ Free forever, it's an open-source project where you can view the latest source code anytime. ❇️ The original intention behind creating it was for my own use due to my dry eyes and frequent night browsing. Later, I published it on the Chrome Store, hoping to bring convenience to those who need it.
