Overview

Change or invert the color scheme to make webpages easier to read.

High Contrast lets you browse the web with your choice of several high-contrast color filters designed to make it easier to read text. When you install this extension, all pages are "inverted", so black becomes white and white becomes black. Press the "browser action" icon in the toolbar to toggle it on and off, or customize your settings on a per-site basis. Use a convenient keyboard shortcut to quickly change your settings while you browse. Other extensions try to change the default colors, but this ends up breaking many popular websites. Only this extension applies filters to your page that invert almost everything - the only exception is photos, which are left alone. Also note that the Chrome web store and other built-in pages like the New Tab page and Settings pages are unaffected - extensions like this one are not allowed to modify them, by design.

i have both poor vision and photosensitive epilepsy, this extension and the ability to toggle is AMAZING especially because you can set it to not do its thing on certain websites. i messed with my computer settings for hours and nothing proved to be as useful as this extension in making me able to *see* without causing issues with my photosensitivity. in fact i can even use it to help my photosensitivity due to the greyscale features. honestly the only good accessibility extension i have seen...

Let's hope the developer upgrades to MV3 or come January we won't be able to run this extension in the latest Chromium browsers which includes Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and more.

I like the Increased Contrast a lot, but it can make text unreadable on sites with small text. Google search looks awesome with this setting (if you zoom in). Zooming in solves the issue, but I don't want to always zoom in of course. Also I tried Yellow on Black and it turns out Black on Yellow.
