"Read and change all your data on the websites you visit".

I got this message when I tried to add this extension, everybody comfortable with this?

Unfortunately Chrome doesn't granularize it any further. Basically all it needs to do is inject some CSS, and in Chrome permission-speak that is covered under the umbrella of "read and change all your data".

The source is however available so you could inspect it for yourself and install from source:

Actually I believe the default mode analyzes the page contents in an attempt to provide a better end result.

This extension seems better than other dark mode extension.

It doesn't collect anything, is verified/checked by Mozilla
