BlindHN: Improved Accessibility for Hacker News

This extension streamlines navigation for screen readers by:

\t1\tSetting the background of the Hacker News website to dark, and the text to white.

\t2\tCentering and adding a highlight when the user hovers over a title.

\t3\tConverting title links to h1 elements for a clear hierarchy.

\t4\tAdding a dedicated right navbar for easy access to navigation options.

\t5\tAdding aria-labels to describe images, titles, usernames, timestamps, and karma points.
