Better Dark Mode

Give pages a better dark mode by avoiding things like full white text on full black background.

Better Dark Mode - Optimal Dark Mode Chrome Extension

'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.

easy and fast :) But it bites with the addon Color Links, where the colors of visited links are not visible any more :( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/color-links/hiponeioelghhaljfflaaflpccedbdem

it's great. could use a keyboard shortcut for toggling and an always-on mode (maybe based on rules)
