It is okay most of the times but it turns text input fields into dark color too... and because of that, I can't see what am I typing here. I think it is easily fixable, but as the current moment some website are just straight up unusable and I had to disable this extension.

I like the extension, but ultimately had to disable it. I was having a problem with dark text on dark backgrounds for the last month or two, and eventually figured out it was due to this extension. This didn't affect some sites, but others were unreadable. If this gets fixed, it'd be 5 stars for me.
