estuve buscando una extensión que sirviera con Duolingo, y de las que probé esta es la única que si sirve bien.

I almost gave up looking for a dark page addon until I found this one. This one gave thought to actually being able to see the text well, while all the other ones had the text too grayish dim, and any blue text too dark to even read against that black background. What was they thinking. This one is the best. Long live it.

This extension is so henky. Sometimes it works (rarely) but most of time it does not. I have tried reloading. Using the rotate option etc but nothing works any longer. It did a few times. Removing it today.
