TrueDark – Dark Mode for Every Site

A reliable, ad-free dark theme for every website — with per-site control and a keyboard shortcut.

**Tired of dark mode extensions that break sites, flash white, or nag you with ads?** TrueDark applies a clean, reliable dark theme to every website — built from scratch around one idea: *recolor, don't invert.* **How it's different** - **Smart recoloring, not inversion.** Instead of flipping the whole page (which leaves dark-on-dark unreadable text), TrueDark walks each page and darkens light backgrounds while preserving their color, then brightens text only where contrast is poor. Links stay blue — just easier on the eyes. - **No white flash.** The dark canvas is painted before the page first renders, so late-night browsing never starts with a blast of white. - **Stays working on modern sites.** Gmail, Facebook, YouTube (including Shorts) and other single-page apps keep updating as they load — TrueDark watches for changes and themes new content in smooth, throttled batches that never jank your scrolling. - **Images, video and artwork untouched.** Photos, videos, canvas graphics and SVG icons render exactly as their creators intended. - **Respects sites that already have dark mode.** If a site ships its own dark theme, TrueDark stands down automatically. - **No ads. No tracking. No accounts.** Your settings sync with your Chrome profile and nothing else ever leaves your browser. **Controls** - One-click toggle in the popup, plus a global keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+D) - Per-site on/off, blocklist or allowlist mode, all managed from a clean options page **Privacy** TrueDark collects nothing. It runs entirely on your device, makes no network requests, and has no analytics.
