Super dark mode Extension

The Super Dark Mode extension darkens almost all websites, making it easier on your eyes at night.

>>> 🔔 Exceptions:

- New Tab: Install a dark theme for Chrome here: Chrome Color Themes
- Chrome Store: Google doesn't allow theme changes here.

>>> 💡 How to Use Super Dark Mode:

1) Manual On/Off:
- Reload all open sites after installing.
- Click the extension icon to toggle dark mode.

2) Automatic Schedule:
- Right-click the extension icon.
- Select \"Options\".
- Go to \"Automatic Schedule\" and enable \"Auto ON/OFF\".

3)Exclude/Include Sites:
- Right-click on the site.
- Select \"Super Dark Mode\" > \"Disable/Enable Super Dark Mode for this site\".

4) And More:
- Super Dark Mode supports four global dark themes: Classic, Smart Invert, Manual (for experienced users) and Modern with colour customisations.
- Specialised dark themes for most popular websites such as Amazon, Ebay, Reuters, Twitter (X) and many others, which you can easily switch on and off in the options.
- In the advanced settings, the contrast value can be adjusted for further fine tuning.

5) Configuration
- Super Dark Mode uses a configuration which gets fetched on a regular basis in case special themes no longer works on sites such as Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, because the websites have changed these pages after the release of Super Dark Mode. In this case, Dark Mode will be disabled until we provide an update for the site via the Chrome Store.

Mega Dutcher (ID: 00000016d2ddf61f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/21/2024 The best dark mode extension by a mile...EDIT it broke Youtube and Odysee playback, and Brave search now gives an error. Disabling from the extension menu and clearing cookies fixes it.

Erin Croteau (ID: 0000000643dd692d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/03/2024 Original (11/15/23): It worked pretty well for me, but recently whenever I visit Salesforce websites (help.salesforce.com, trailhead.com) the webpage looked very wrong, and this extension wasn't even turned on. I tried other troubleshooting methods like clearing cache and cookies, and disabling all Chrome flags, and that didn't fix it. The pages displayed correctly in Incognito mode. I turned off all my Chrome extensions and the pages displayed correctly again. I turned my Chrome extensions back on one by one and tested each time. When I turned this extension back on, the problem returned, so I'm sad -- now I have to search for another dark mode extension. :( Update (6/3/24): A (recently reposted but originally written in 2022) Salesforce Ben article recommended this extension, so I figured the weirdness with rendering Salesforce-related sites (help.salesforce.com, trailhead.com, etc) was no longer an issue, and I tried it again today. Still an issue displaying Salesforce sites (at least for me/my computer), so uninstalling...again... :( And trying to remember what the other Dark Mode extension I'd found that didn't have this issue is called, because I was updated to Windows 11 recently and I didn't save my Chrome extensions so I'm having to re-discover what I was using before that worked for me... grrrr :p
