What is Special Dark?
'Special Dark' is a Chrome extension aimed at enhancing user experience by changing bright webpages to darker themes. It caters not only for individual visual comfort but also to energy conservation. The extension includes specific styles for popular sites like Facebook, Amazon, Github, and Stack Exchange. It realizes the functionality of Stylish but brings in a more comprehensive coverage, only exempting a few sites. With a recent update, it has improved interface with Github and dropped Twitter styles following the introduction of Twitter's dark theme.
