High Contrast Extension

High Contrast lets you browse the web with your choice of several high-contrast color filters designed to make it easier to read text.

When you install this extension, all pages are \"inverted\", so black becomes white and white becomes black. Press the \"browser action\" icon in the toolbar to toggle it on and off, or customize your settings on a per-site basis. Use a convenient keyboard shortcut to quickly change your settings while you browse.

Other extensions try to change the default colors, but this ends up breaking many popular websites. Only this extension applies filters to your page that invert almost everything - the only exception is photos, which are left alone.

Also note that the Chrome web store and other built-in pages like the New Tab page and Settings pages are unaffected - extensions like this one are not allowed to modify them, by design.

Sunny Wu (ID: 000000c926b0d604) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/05/2024 Looks like Google is discontinuing this. Disabled people probably no longer matter to the company all because of Manifest v3 to get rid of adblockers.

Pierre Chazal (ID: 000000eeb66e3053) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2024 (com mis à jour le 08/07/2024) Elle était bien (seulement pour les navigateurs Chromium). Elle n'est pas passée à Manifest V3 et va être supprimée, dommage. Vous n'avez pas voulu ou pas pu la mettre à jour ?

MC Wong (ID: 00000069b2fef774) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/28/2024 Stopped working today on my Win10 laptop 23/05/24! Still OK on my Win11 laptop?? Happened after updating Chrome! More info:- Settings defaulted to Inverted Color and the extension doesn't work whatever options selected??? Update 28/05/24: Working fine today!

Ricardo Lima (ID: 000000f6b14f9f24) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/23/2024 ERA MUITO BOA, MAS DEPOIS DA ULTIMA ATUALIZAÇÃO, TENHO QUE REMOVER E INSTALAR NOVAMENTE TODA VEZ QUE SAIO DO CROME, JA NO EDGE ESTÁ 100%

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/24/2023 الإضافة تجعل تشغيل مقاطع فيديو يوتيوب بها تقطع أثناء التشغيل كما تجعل اليوتيوب بطيء بشكل عام.
