User reviews

It works nicely. It doesn't change the appearance of other sites for me.

It works for me

Anamul Hoque, 2025-02-22

Does as the name implies by inverting colors. This can cause some issues however, as the Document Title portion is completely invisible when typing in the box and any attached photos/images are also color inverted. Otherwise, works well.
