This is highly interesting to me (very bad vision thanks to keratoconus, can't stand contacts, and trying to wear my glasses less often for reasons). I can't wait to see this extension available for Safari (and on iOS 15 too!)
That's great, thank you! Some design gurus once proposed that high contrast is unaesthetic and many designers amplified this message leading to unnecessary eyestrain among users.
That said, I personally try to stay away from browser plugins that I haven't written myself or I can't easily inspect the source code of, and whenever I can I solve this particular problem by using the Reader Mode if available.
That's fair. For what it's worth: the code runs fully in the browser and never calls out or uses any external service. It's just a bunch of CSS and JS files on disk :)
Thank you for doing this. It's frustrating when websites either (a) require you to have a perfectly calibrated monitor to view the content or (b) require you to have a monitor as color-broken as the author's to view the content.
I don't think people realize sometimes how much variance is out there, among both desktops and laptops, in how the grayscale in particular is rendered.
