and

*** This version does not have the problem of the original Dark Reader not inverting some part of the page: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/2256
The difference is this variant is not trying to be 'smart' and just makes dark everything it can, including all images, videos, iframes, etc.
In rare occasions when you may want to see a page uninverted, just use a hotkey to switch between light/dark mode.
Also it adds a black new tab page.
This clone is useful for developers that want to keep their eyes safe.
Original DarkReader description follows:
--------------------------
Unlike it's uncountable clones, this extension doesn't just invert colors of web-sites you visit. Powered by new Chrome engine features it uses special intellectual way to transform bright blinding stuff into eye relaxing, high contrast, deluminated, dark themed and just smart looking web-pages which are easy to read at night.
