It messes up Youtube dark mode. I wouldn't give it 1 star just for this, but it's been more than a year since this issue first appeared. Seems like they don't care Uninstalling this extension fixes youtube shorst FYI

Chromebooks already do this, don't they? And you can adjust the intensity of it in the settings. So for Chromebooks, this isn't much of a point of this, but I can see it being useful.
