User reviews

I figured out how to fix the white patches! This extension is perfect after this! To make all websites dark mode in Google Chrome, you can enable "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents". This is an experimental feature that may change or be removed in the future. To enable "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents": Open Google Chrome In the address bar, type "chrome://flags" and press Enter Search for "dark mode" Find "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and select "Enabled" Relaunch the browser

Darkens the font too much and many tiles and popups are still white.

A huge help especially when doing homework at night. It's not perfect, there are somethings that stay white, but it's definitely better than being burned by a white screen as your eyes melt in their sockets (hyperbole was used in this review).
