Kathryn M. (ID: 0000008f1907fa6c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 It works as intended. I needed to change one particular webpage's font color because my 'Gloom Dark mode' app was over-riding the webpage and the original web designer made the font too black. Black background with black font color is just not ideal, it's simple app but I appreciate it. It's true that this app doesn't work on every page so you'll have to bring it up when you find you need to use it but I don't mind the slight inconvenience at least this app is functional unlike others I've tested and installed.
