Dark Theme Everywhere: Improved Night Reading Chrome Extension

"Dark Theme Everywhere" is a smart Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by darkening bright pages and providing a consistent dark theme, thus reducing eye strain especially during night time reading. This extension doesn’t merely invert colors; it assures you a dark page, no matter the site content. It offers distinct benefits over other inverters, darkening pages aggressively and by default, eliminating the need to reload for every page change, and even extending the dark theme to photos and media embeds. The feature to manually toggle and store a site's theme as part of your exceptions, provides you with more personalized control.

Extension summary

New in Version 6 Manually toggling a site's theme now adds or removes it from your exceptions list, so you don't need to re-click whenever you refresh!

New in Version 5 Subtly darkens photos and media embeds (you can turn this off from the Options page).

New in Version 4 Add a list of exceptions from the default theme (eg. "facebook.com").

I was tempted to call this "Nicest Inverter", but it doesn't actually invert anything. It gives you a dark page, no matter what!

Improvements from Nicer Inverter: ● Dark-ifies pages aggressively, so you're much less likely to come across pages with bright patches. ● Dark-ifies pages by default, so you don't need to click the extension's button on every page load. ● Allows you to toggle dark styles on and off without reloading the page.

It use to work a lot better, recently every time refresh a site or open chrome back up have to redo the dark them or undo it on sites don't want it used for. Have just deleted it and used Google's built in dark mode as this no longer works as it should.
