Extension summary

It has become fashionable to make text dark gray instead of black. That's hard on middle-aged and older viewers. This extension lets you snap dark text to 100% black. You can adjust how dark the text needs to be for the snapping to happen.

Dark gray backgrounds also snap to full black, and nearly white text or backgrounds snaps to white, unless you turn off these features.

User reviews

Super useful! It makes gray text clearer and easier to read. I chose this extension because it lets you adjust the sensitivity, so secondary/inactive texts can stay lighter if you want. But the background dimmer bugged some sites for me, so I have to keep it at zero - thats the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars.
