Facebook revealed that it would redesign the Facebook Messenger app to make it cleaner and simpler. Along with the redesign, there will be a Facebook Messenger dark mode option. The new design.
I've tried every 'night mode' type extension I could find and if they weren't just putting a dumb inversion filter on things, they barely worked. This one actually works hard to get rid of as much of the white flash you get upon loading pages as possible. It seems to perform post-processing on all webpages to figure out what's light and what isn't. The downside is it's slow on older machines, but it really works better than anything else I've tried.
One of my big metrics for testing these is mcmaster.com. This one nails it 100%. They even have a support chatbox for reporting broken sites which they actually monitor and follow up on! Works perfectly without inverting photographs.
I spend a couple hours a day reading print websites, online magazines, etc. On a 32 inch monitor. Ordinary black on white is like staring into automobile headlights. Heretofore, the only solution offered by extensions were to simply invert everything. That meant a constant back-and-forth enabling/disabling the extension to see photographs.That is no longer necessary with this extension. Delete any and all of your other Hacker Vision, Dark, Etc. Extensions and just use this one.
