Dark Mode Switcher
Description from store

Transform any website into a dark-themed (dark mode) experience instantly, while keeping images, videos and dynamic content looking natural. Perfect for night browsing or reducing eye strain!

===🔑FEATURES THAT STAND OUT===
🌓 Global Theme Toggle
Apply a dark theme to all websites and tabs with a single click or keyboard shortcut. The extension intelligently inverts colors while preserving readability and usability.

📋 Exclusion List
Maintain a list of websites that should be excluded from theme changes. Perfect for sites that already have their own dark mode or where color accuracy is important.

🖼️ Smart Media Handling
The extension preserves the original appearance of:
✔️ Images
✔️ Videos
✔️ Canvas elements
✔️ Background images and gradients
This ensures media content remains visually accurate while the rest of the page is in dark mode.

⚡ Dynamic Content Support
Using MutationObserver, the extension automatically processes new content as it loads on the page, ensuring a consistent experience even with dynamically loaded elements.

💾 Persistent Settings
All your preferences are saved across browser sessions, so you only need to configure the extension once.

🎨 UI Theme Toggle
Switch the extension's own user interface between light and dark themes to match your browser theme.
