There's the Stylish extension since 2005

Your code is based on CSS filters. Dark Reader provides this mode too, but also allows users to fix and share wrongly inverted parts https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/blob/master/src/con... Dynamic mode is slower at start, but has no impact on performance after all the stylesheets were analyzed.
nightlight is "dynamic" by using a simple heuristic after pageload to deinvert if necessary. but the crowdsourced filter is a great idea! might borrow it :) does your extension run on android? there are two motivations for nightlight aside from its obvious purpose: 1) be fast on android 2) keep source code simple as possible so everything the extension does is obvious. when i wrote nightlight it was difficult to eval…
Doesn't work on Chrome Canary.
Does anyone actually prefer reading text on a bright background? If so, what are your reasons? For me, the choice is obvious to the point that I'm often annoyed at the lengths I need to go to in order to browse the web comfortably. I feel like we should have moved to the sane default of dark-themed UI ages ago.
This is sloppy but I believe correct. Any experts, feel free to correct or extend this, thanks.
When I stated using a mac, the bright background infuriated me, but when I went back to a dark background, I realised the mac was just nicer to use.
To the guy saying it's a strain to use black text on white, I believe some eye disorders make it easier to read white text on black. Another reason is the brightness of the monitor is just excessive - try turning it down.
HTH
works great on opera as well.

To his credit, the author has released the source for the Chrome and Firefox versions: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader However, I posed the same question in the MAS about the closed-source Safari version, which requires full access to webpage contents ("Can read sensitive information from webpages, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards on all webpages") and browsing history ("Can see when you…
Sorry, I'm not sure that publishing a paid app source code would be a good idea. There is a chance that somebody will publish the same app under different name. Somebody has already published a crack for it. And another Safari app already reuses some code from Dark Reader for Chrome. There was a long discussion regarding this review https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/9y0s2a/dark_reader_d... You know, some Apple…
In an earlier comment on reddit, you wrote[0]:
"Safari version is not open source yet, but it did pass a manual review too."
which implies it would be open sourced at some point. Have you changed your mind?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm sorry they didn't include the full context, including my comments; the links I shared above do.

Dark Reader also offers static CSS support https://darkreader.org/blog/stylish/ Global CSS will work well on text websites. For many others it will break up the coloring and make page parts hardly distinguishable.
Any plans to implement proper UserStyles.org support where themes can auto-update like with Stylus? Some of the most popular style sheets update quite frequently.
