## What's new in 1.0.1? ##
* Fix bug where everything breaks on the upgrade for some users with old settings.
## What's new in 1.0.0? ##
* Update to Manifest V3 as required by Google
* Add cloud sync for settings
* Introduce dark mode autodetection
* Configure different inversion modes based on URL path
* Fix flashing scrollbar issue
* Many assorted tweaks to smart invert mode
* Cosmetic updates
Invert the brightness of the web without changing the colors! Useful as a night mode to darken most bright web sites (like Google), or just for making the web soothing black instead of glaring white. Similar to the "High Contrast" or "Hacker Vision" extensions, but tries not to ruin images by blowing out the contrast or changing the colors.
Warning: because of the way this extension inverts the luminance of rendered pages, it may cause noticeable slowdowns for some users. If this happens, you may prefer another extension that uses custom CSS to set the default background and text color of web pages.
Latest reviews
- (2024-11-29) Matt Ferguson: Used this ext for almost 10 years and the latest update has made it unusable. It just doesn't work anymore.
- (2024-11-26) Paul Groothuis: Used to be the best, but since the latest update it hardly works anymore.
- (2024-09-25) Ivan Žagar: Broken. Was 5 star before upgrade.
- (2024-09-06) Vincent vom Kothen: This was great, but not working anymore now since last update (noticed the icon changed). This is why developers should dev/test their stuff before publishing their work.
- (2024-09-05) Daniels: i understand its an update for the manifest but it broke it completely, rendering it useless. might use another for now but hoping for a quick fix tho as i prefer this one over others. Update: It's working again. If it doesn't work for you, DELETE/REMOVE it off your browser Completely and then add it again. That did it for me and worked. If you can, Support the dev, they didn't have to do this but they did. GGs
- (2024-09-04) Nathaji Metivier: Used to be perfect, now it doesn't work at all. Does anyone know a good alternative? UPDATE: If you had the plugin installed before and it is not working now, try removing it completely, restarting chrome, and adding it back. That fixed it for me.
- (2024-09-01) avalanche156: Used to be cool and fast. After recent update (with the new icon of the extn) - kb command (Shift+F11) to turn it on\off is completely broken. Also, after I press Shift+F11 my whole browser freezes for ~5 sec. Maybe this is due to the fact, that I've got an enormous amounts of tabs (~1500) - but everything worked perfectly fine, without freezes in the old version - until this recent update. Also, if I Enable deluminate manually (via mouse clicks) - there are no freezes. So pls, fix these two big issues. Maybe "dark mode autodetection" feature is the cause here...
- (2024-08-24) Vrgh Drhn: Now it work's, but I can't adjust anything, just switch on/off dark mode. Why did you destroy well working app just for the more round icon? I use now other app and it's way better on most sites.
- (2024-08-23) Terra Field: Whole lot of people whining about an update breaking their free software. Clearly the dev is working on it, maybe contribute or file an issue instead of a 1 star review? Makes you seem like jerks (because you are jerks).
- (2024-08-23) Yizhachok: Найкраще, що я тільки зустрічав. Перфекто! У кого не працює після 22.08.2024, то потрібно просто вимкнути і увімкнути це розширення в списку розширень браузера chrome://extensions/
- (2024-08-22) Vince Platt: Was my goto "dark mode" for web site accessibility for a long time. It's just completely broken right now. Thanks Google for jamming Manifest V3 down everyone's throats and causing disasters like this!
- (2024-08-21) Mia: Broken after recent update
- (2024-08-21) richyque: Just updated and broke the ap.

- (2024-08-20) Boots: Yo why did we even update this, it's just broken now
- (2024-08-20) S G: I don't know what happened it just updated and it doesn't seem to work right anymore. I try to change the settings and it doesn't seem to save them. Its either every page is inverted or none are. Disappointing.
- (2024-07-06) Daniel Soltys: Excellent!
- (2024-05-04) Garrison Brinkmann: I've been using this a couple months now. Works extremely well for me on a variety of sites. Occasionally inverts pictures even when Smart Invert is selected, but that's a minor issue compared to what it accomplishes, even on complex pages. I do not notice much, if any, rendering slow-down. I would appreciate a capability to optionally share site-level preferences across computers (e.g., by storing the configuration in a cloud drive file), but having site-level prefs at all is immensely valuable to me.
- (2024-01-16) Justin Case: Started using this today. Better than all the dark extensions I've tried, even the chrome flags for dark. Only issue is it remembers settings for top level domains, but not subfolders so I need to constantly change modes one one site.
- (2023-11-15) Umidulloh Turonov: It does glitch sometimes, but it is great otherwise

- (2023-09-08) Max Maximov: Just suddently stopped to work. On random websites, including those you constantly visitt, It shows white background, then you click on the extension and then it goes dark without changing anything.

- (2023-05-07) Armin Mueller: There's a lot of "Dark Mode" extensions out there and most of them either don't work or are lacking critical features (such as being able to be disabled on specific sites). I've gone through 1/2 dozen or more of these extensions cause Chrome's developer's seem to appreciate suffering from eyestrain. But for the rest of us though, this extension is *awesome* It works (always), doesn't break sites, and has some good settings to boot! 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (thx to whoever made this, you're a godsend!)

- (2022-09-18) Zed: This is my second most used extension after uBlock Origin. It's indispensable for saving my eyes from strain, and great at combating websites that insist on eyebleed colors or blinding white everywhere. It has some failings: notably, it can often invert graphics even when set not to; some websites swap color schemes, meaning that you'll always have a couple pages not in your preferred color mode, and after modifying color schemes on a few websites, I find that opening the extension freezes Chrome for up to a full minute. Still, it's the best tool I've found for making websites comfortable to look at and read.

- (2022-07-02) Zach Diesel: The best. Seriously, been using this for many years. To the dev: Reddit must have changed something recently, deluminate is not working there

- (2022-05-21) Artem Rikoski: WORKS! If site did not change try to refresh it and it should pick it up

- (2022-03-30) Thomas Peacock: An extension I didn't know I needed. It enables dark mode on unsupported sites very nicely with plenty of customizable options, and you can have custom settings for different sites if a site already has dark mode enabled. 10/10

- (2022-01-14) Jason Finn: This extension is the best!! It works on 9/10 sites, maybe more. It is very easy to change settings, so sites that don't work still have options (like dim for sites that force white). The settings are saved, so you can just use the same settings on that site in the future.

- (2022-01-06) Joey Spohrer: I love Deluminate, but it absolutely kills the performance of Gmail. I'm talking 1-2 seconds between clicks. I've tried dim vs full invert with no help. My company uses Gmail so I don't get an option on this.

- (2021-09-28) John S Wolter: It does what it promised. It darkens text on pages & works to improve image contrasting. However, it always starts in Dark mode. Even after settings are set to normal. Likely a bug. The author is making updates. Other extensions like this are not being updated.

- (2021-07-08) Vinnie Vu: Great extension with a lot of functionality and options! Takes a little bit to tweak for every site, but once you have it figured out, it's awesome!!
