Change Background Color Extension

Most color-changing extensions require the \"read and change all your data on all site\" permission, which is overkill and raises privacy concerns. This particular extension does only one thing: it changes the background color of the current site, that's all.

No special permissions are required, no data is collected, and no privacy concerns.
