Only two buttons. Simply switch between day and night mode for the active tab. Works for offline PDFs too!

Description from store
It simply makes the colors look inverted. Therefore, it works best for dark text on light backgrounds.
Bullet points:
- To make the extension work with offline files (e.g. PDF from hard drive) you must:
1) Open chrome://extensions.
2) Find ANTDR and click "Details" button.
3) Turn on "Allow access to file URLs".
- Make sure you pin the extension to the toolbar.
- After switching to dark mode toggle full screen with F11 button to temporarily hide light sections of the browser like the search bar and bookmarks section while reading.
Enjoy!

- (2025-06-07) Brian Guo: Nice extension! Here are some recommendations for future updates: 1. Chrome pdf reader has a top navigation bar, and that will be flipped to white in dark mode. Can we keep that in black? 2. After refreshing the page, is it possible to keep the page number?
- (2025-05-24) Breno Rodrigues: perfect, it leaves the whole screen black, not just only the pdf itself, and that's all it does, nothing more.
