Summary

This extension applies a universal dark theme to all web pages. Basically, the extension inserts a small set of CSS rules on every page load to convert the site's style to dark theme. This extension provides the following customizations:

  1. You can disable it on one or several hostnames if the website already supports its own dark style.
  2. You can inject custom CSS rules for each domain
  3. You can append the default rules with your own global CSS rules.

Note that this extension uses non-persistent background page to prevent resource usage when it is inactive.

The default dark theme is based on the "Global dark style - changes everything to DARK" by stormi

hidden gem! dark mode works perfectly on every sites, but would be much better if it would be a plain dark instead of a bricky dark one, though. bad note, the last update was in 2018 (!!!). that would be fine if the extension was working perfectly, but the widget to customize seems to not recording the changes we are making. Like you write the sites you don't want the extension to apply on the blacklist, you save and then the extension still applies its dark mode on those excluded sites. It definitely needs an update to correct that problem.
