Anything that helps improve accessibility is good! I'm looking forward to the Firefox extension.

I did a quick search for such extensions for Firefox, and there were at least a few. I'm sure Chrome would also have some already.

1. If you have time, some research on existing extensions and how yours is different or better would be nice to have.

2. Your readme says that it applies a CSS filter. So could this be easily adapted for use with an extension like Stylus [1] (though that may not be as convenient)?

1. Part of the inspiration for Colorblindly came from my disappointment with the existing alternatives. I wanted to make something that took advantage of the most recent tools for web development, and more importantly, worked on any page! But kudos to the other devs working on accessibility software, not enough love in this area.

2. Stylus sounds like something to look into, it should be pretty easy to adapt for use with it. Thanks for the tip!
