Ecosia Dark-Mode Extension

A simple chrome extension to activate a dark mode to the ecosia search engine. This extension allows to toggle a dark mode to the 'ecosia.org' site and includes a \"new tab\" page in dark also.
Ecosia is a search engine that uses the profits generated by your online research to plant trees where the need is greatest. They have a free browser extension for you to save the planet: https://bit.ly/2xmtfVl

You simply have to install the chrome extension. In the extention popup, you can enable or disable the dark mode.
You will also find in this popup a google search box because Ecosia searches can sometimes be less relevant than Google searches. For more specific searches, you can therefore use this field. (But you won't plant a tree...:( )

Please feel free to offer me ideas or let me know about potential issues here: https://github.com/gmirmand/ecosia-dark-mode/issues

Previously, we use the tabs function/permissions to retrieve the domain name. However, this requires the user to share his history which is bad. So here is a fix to do it in another way
v1.1.4 > 09/04/2019
Alert message more relevant and a little graphic fix
v1.1.3 > 30/03/2019
Blocking the extension (and user alerting) if we are not on ecosia.org domain
v1.1.2 > 28/03/2019
Add preventive alerts
v1.1.1 > 24/03/2019
Fix some stylish issue due to ecosia update
Add a Google form in extension popup

We already have ideas such as:
>Switch to allow dark mode to activate itself from a certain time
>Propose to choose activation slots
>Choose the color variables

Yaëlle Roger (ID: 000000e66a68d9da) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/06/2023 Bonjour, Je souhaite savoir si votre extension en mode sombre permet tout de même de planter des arbres ? Je ne vois pas le décompte s'afficher sur ma version et de plus, je vois sur votre extension que vous ne l'avez pas déployé en tant que professionnel travaillant chez Ecosia ? Merci de votre retour rapide car je souhaite faire déployer via une GPO votre extension sur tous les postes des agents de ma collectivité. Bien à vous, Yaëlle
