Short description
Give pages a better dark mode by avoiding things like full white text on full black background. Switch all websites to dark mode. You can darken all sites and also customize colors for the sites you want.
Full summary
  • Creates a dark mode of any page by inverting the original colors, background-colors, border-colors.
