Web Themes Framework Extension

Web Themes Framework lets you theme several popular websites to match your OS theme (or whatever you want) by just changing a few colours and fonts—similar to Stylish, but much faster to create themes, no technical knowledge required, and with the least possible access to your websites.

Web Themes Framework is 100% open source: https://github.com/sammilucia/web-themes-framework. You are free to make themes and release them as your own 😊.

The default theme is based on niivu's amazing Paranoid Android Windows 10/Chrome/Firefox theme: https://www.deviantart.com/niivu/art/Paranoid-Android-Windows-10-Themes-821696974

Web Themes Framework supports:
- messenger.com
- WhatsApp
- Discord
- YouTube
- Slack
- Instagram
- DuckDuckGo

Please feel free to contribute and add other websites to the repository 😊.
