Cal McLain (ID: 000000d01c217103) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 It actually works exactly like I hoped it would! It does need Dark Reader (which is clearly stated in the description) but I use that anyway.

Shelby (ID: 0000000548271daa) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/18/2022 Requires the "Dark Reader" extension...but I think that extension just does this now? So this extension appears to be superfluous.
