en Yep, doesn't work. Exactly as Leon said. Edit: Only sometimes works, and even then, if you scroll down far enough to see a "click to read more"-type button and load more comments/text/etc., the new text won't be recolored. Good enough to keep downloaded, and better than Beeline since it doesn't limit you to 3 sites, but I don't think I have to say how low the bar is at that point.

en it's good, but it also changes the color of hyperlinks, both default and visited. you can't tell at a glance what's a hyperlink and what isn't - you have to hover over text to see where they are. it's one small drawback, but it really decreases its usefulness.

en UPDATED REVIEW AS OF OCTOBER 2023: Their website no longer exists. Therefore I don't suggest installing it. I am uninstalling it myself. OLD REVIEW: Works beautifully! Some extensions are slow because they are either written poorly (the code) or they are trying to do too much. This extension is perfect. The interface is very clean. The options are direct and gives the user total control with a straightforward interface. Thank you for providing this!

Excellent thank you - free and customisable. I find bright colours off putting so have used dark purple and dark navy. Doesn't work on every section on every page but its enough for me. Thanks
