Follow the steps, allow access to file URLs, doesn't do anything when you click it. It worked once, never worked again

idk why the low star reviews. Follow the instructions and it works. Yeah the side bars are white now but just zoom in and you don't see them.
Tonesh Soni
It just inverse the colors so the black background will be also shown as white
Sajjad Haq
Should've darkened the side bars too

This is probably not the developer's fault, but it doesn't seem to work in Chromium 132.0.6834.159 (Official Build). You have to enable access to file URLs and then you can activate the extension for a pdf (on file URLs only), and it still does practically nothing - the pdf's background is still white in my chromium. Presumably a breaking change occurred in chromium since last release of the extension.

It works! Karan Sikka is right : ''You have to go to the chrome extension details and then check the box to allow access to file URLs. Also it only works on file URLs. (opening pdf files in chrome). So if you want to read a pdf that you loaded from a web page, you need to download it then open from filesystem.''
