## Description

Night Light Mode is a Chrome extension designed to ease eye strain by enabling a dark mode across most websites. It inverts colors, displaying light text on dark backgrounds, which significantly lowers light output and helps in dim or dark lighting conditions. The extension also dims images to ensure they render pleasantly alongside the darkened interface.

Users can conveniently toggle Night Light Mode directly from the browser toolbar whenever needed, making it easy to switch between normal and dark views. The extension supports Android devices, extending its usability beyond desktops. Ideal for those who spend long hours browsing or reading online, Night Light Mode enhances visual comfort seamlessly.
