- "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Super sad because it's usable on more websites than the alternatives Dark Night Mode (717 ratings - 60k users), Dark Mode (45 ratings - 3k users) and Dark Theme (404 ratings - 80k users). I'd happily pay a small annual subscription for this extension to be maintained and improved.

- (Preface: reviewing specifically for the light-triggered MIGRAINE-sufferers out there.) Useful enough and simplistic but lacking the settings options of other dark mode extensions available, but you can specify which URLs to show normally, which is helpful for sites/portals set to a dark theme. HV works by inverting all colors on a page (except images), though, so larger elements (banners, menu backgrounds, etc.) that are already dark can be an issue depending on your sensitivity. If you're just looking for something simple to protect their eyes from long-term use of screens, though, there are definitely better options out there, but this generally seems to do what it's supposed to.

- Hello Can you please give one more mode, or modify the Normal Mode, which kinda DELUMINATES the page, meaning replace glaring white with soothing light grayish, standard for ACCESSIBILITY, helps in reading text in Normal mode, Must be helpful for many. thanks.LOOKING FORWARD.

- Nice extension, but would be cool if you would exclude images so that they are displayed normally.

- When I try to put my computer in dark mode using the keyboard shortcut (Google searched), it doesn't work properly and 80% of my screen is still white. However, with this extension, it covers all of my screen and looks SUPER COOL at same time. Don't think twice about adding it just because the stars are rated 4, it's a GREAT extension. I don't get anything about them wanting me to pay, and Hacker Vision is just plain AWESOME.

- 增加定时功能 例如从下午6点到明天早上6点一直开启黑暗模式 Add timing function, such as turning on dark mode from 6pm to 6am tomorrow 开启黑暗模式后会导致ImTranslator气泡翻译图标和BiliBili视频预览反色 When dark mode is turned on, it will cause ImTranslator bubble translation icon and BiliBili video preview to reverse color.
