DIM

Puts an end to bright pages.

What is DIM?
"DIM" is a Chrome extension that protects eyesight by removing bright pages. With its intelligent algorithms, it enhances page styling and image processing, which in turn, promotes better viewing comfort. Users can easily toggle on/off and configure settings such as theming, automation, filtering, etc., depending on their preferences. Besides its fundamental function, DIM offers advanced features such as image caching, white/blacklisting system, CORS bypassing for images, and more. It also works seamlessly with dynamically added content like AJAX. DIM, more than a universal dark theme, is a tool designed to prevent nearsightedness and improve overall browsing experience.

The idea is great, customization options are hot, but ultimately the plugin is applied globally, making many newly opened pages (especially those with grey-scale font color) look terrible. It means that simply browsing the internet in more than three pages requires some customization, black and whitelisting. I guess I was looking for something more straight forward.
