Overview
Darkens bright pages for easier night time reading. Unofficial improvement of 'Nicer Inverter'.
**New in Version 6** Manually toggling a site's theme now adds or removes it from your exceptions list, so you don't need to re-click whenever you refresh! **New in Version 5** Subtly darkens photos and media embeds (you can turn this off from the Options page). **New in Version 4** Add a list of exceptions from the default theme (eg. "facebook.com"). I was tempted to call this "Nicest Inverter", but it doesn't actually invert anything. It gives you a dark page, no matter what! Improvements from Nicer Inverter: ● Dark-ifies pages aggressively, so you're much less likely to come across pages with bright patches. ● Dark-ifies pages *by default*, so you don't need to click the extension's button on every page load. ● Allows you to toggle dark styles on and off without reloading the page. ● Optionally darkens photos and media embeds. There are a lot of inverters out there, and many of them are great. I'm using Dark Reader[1] right now, and honestly, it's better than this for most use cases. BUT! Some pages on the internet are dark by default. When you invert a dark page, it becomes light. AGH MY EYES! This extension will *always* give you a dark background. You can change the default theme from "Dark" to "Light" by going to Tools -> Extensions and clicking the "Options" link under Dark Theme Everywhere. You can toggle the theme with a hotkey by going to Tools -> Extensions and clicking the "Keyboard shortcuts" link at the bottom. Now that your browser is nice and dark-themed, you might notice an annoying white flash between pages. It's a known bug that's being tracked in Issue 1373[2] and Issue 126341[3]. I wrote another extension to reduce the flicker[4], but the problem will exist to some degree until it's fixed in Chromium. Enjoy! Licensed under MIT.

It use to work a lot better, recently every time refresh a site or open chrome back up have to redo the dark them or undo it on sites don't want it used for. Have just deleted it and used Google's built in dark mode as this no longer works as it should.
