Blacker Text Extension

It has become fashionable to make text dark gray instead of black. That's hard on middle-aged and older viewers. This extension lets you snap dark text to 100% black. You can adjust how dark the text needs to be for the snapping to happen.

Dark gray backgrounds also snap to full black, and nearly white text or backgrounds snaps to white, unless you turn off these features.
