Dark mode / night reader
Description from store

Inverts page colors, showing white text on a dark background, to reduce eye strain.

Works especially well for people working during the night or in low light environments.

Click the button in the icon bar to switch between the supported modes:
* Mode 1 (default): invert colors and reduce contrast
* Mode 2: invert colors, normal (high) contrast
* Mode 3: reduce contrast only
* Mode 4: disabled
* Mode 5: inverts colors of text and images (useful for pages containing diagrams with text, but not photos).

The settings are saved separately for each website.

Right click the button to access the Options page, where you can change the default mode (for all pages).

License: GNU GPLv2.

Privacy: this extension respects your privacy; it does not upload any data whatsoever to the Internet. The only setting that is synced via Chrome sync is the default page mode setting; the per-website settings are stored only locally.

This extension is great on my chrome site and it has variety of dark modes too, which is awesome as I can apply whatever I want!!!!!

Please bring this back! "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." I hope you can resolve whatever the issue might be because this is one of my favorite extensions and I use it in all of my browsers.

i love this night mode because it allows me to work in google docs with a grey page and black background rather than everything being fully black like the other night mode extensions ive tried. the one problem is that sometimes it doesn't remember your presets (i set mine to 4 as default) and will set it to something you dont want

x3 nya 2024-07-21

the settings don't work (plus they're presets)

thank you developer to make it, fantastic in chrome [ latest ver ] in linux, working very well, when extension is set ON after web page opened, web page NEED to be re-loaded, then extension will KEEP allocated mode, or mode may be changed as needed ...

This is very good. So far works on most sites I have used. The only downside is that on some sites, it would also invert images(videos) making them impossible to see. e: the addon works as intended but it crashes a lot when alt tab with some programs. Mainly fullscreen game i think. other addons dont crash.

Seems to have a bug. Clicking the button doesn't change the mode. However, default mode works.

Rock-solid extension. 5 modes to switch from with just a click. Never fails to blacken any website, unlike other extensions. It does invert photo and video colors on some sites, though, so you'll have to flip back and forth sometimes. Not a problem for me at all. This is a literal eye saver, so big love from me!

Please add the function to disable the extension on specific websites (those that already contain the dark theme, for ex. youtube, gmail, facebook etc)

Hello the extension is great but unfortunately it has bug in recent versions of Chrome. It used to work before. Ie. some times when I open a page it applies wrong theme, don’t get me wrong, it remembers the previous usage correct! It shows on extensions icon let's say `4` but it applies `1` into website, so I have to click 5 times into icon then make it again number `4` and only this time it applies number `4`. Example webpage that i always reproduce is Github Pull Request page. I hope it will be fixed since I really like this extension until this bug start appearing. I am also developer so if you need anything for further investigation do not hesitate to contact me!

I like the simplicity but sometimes it seems to fail to remember the dark settings for some websites. And there is no a switch to turn it off so it has to be done by disabling the extension.

can you please add site ignore list? it breaks some sites which already have night style by default, the colors become inverted.

Have been using this for over 6 months now and haven't faced any issue. Be it any website, I can custom my night mode view and next time it picks up the same (mostly). Happy with the extension, easy to use.

Works great, any chance to have a keyboard shortcut for switching between modes ?
