User reviews
Literally does nothing at all. Absolutely useless.

Doesn't work for html <dialog> elements. Which ironic, considering the dialog element was drafted with accessibility at the forefront.

I have to manually toggle it on every single time I go to a different page, even if it's the same tab. Really disappointed because the color filter itself is great. It's just unusable.
