Busting whites since 2017
What is WhiteBuster?
WhiteBuster is a unique Chrome extension designed to enhance the user's browsing experience. It primarily works by transforming white or near-white backgrounds to a color of the user's choice, effectively reducing strain on the eyes. Aside from handling simple webpage elements, WhiteBuster also manages to handle transparent objects, iframes, and runtime created elements, ensuring a consistent aesthetic across all webpages. Despite the extension's efficacy, there are certain limitations such as inability to transform white background images and potential compatibility issues with certain web pages that code therefore depending on the background color being white.

thank you
Simply cannot live without it.
I've never left a review on an extension before, but I have to help people who need it find Whitebuster. My eyes are a wreck because of disease, so I have tried a lot of extensions to reduce the glare without compromising readability or graphics. This extension does it all. It's best one I've ever used and so easy to use.
