Better Dark Mode
Give pages a better dark mode by avoiding things like full white text on full black background.
What is Better Dark Mode?
'Better Dark Mode' is a Google Chrome extension designed to maximize comfort while browsing the web during nighttime or in low-light conditions. It cleverly converts any webpage into a visually appealing dark mode by inverting the original colors, backgrounds, and borders. What sets it apart from typical dark modes is its unique ability to avoid harsh color contrasts and reduce eye-strain. It achieves this by not allowing any RGB values below 50 or above 200 by default, ensuring a softer look on your eyes. Users can customize the darkness and brightness limits according to their preference, promising a user-friendly experience.
