Auto Invert!

not working

This extension should simply invert the colors of the page you are visiting, if you want to invert them. Unfortunately, it also does something completely unacceptable: it creates a semi-transparent black obfuscator over the entire page until it is fully loaded, making navigation essentially impossible because you get continuous flashes that are very disturbing to the view. Too bad, really unusable.

Works well for what it's designed for, However, it slows down all websites I visit, regardless of whether I use the color inversion or not as long as the extension is active. That's a big downside that I cannot tolerate.

It randomly turns off and I don't know why. This happens while I am using my huion tablet, so maybe there is some further testing that needs to be done. It also does not invert everything in the page, for example, when viewing a pdf in the browser it does not work. The plugin does not indicate if it is active or not, instead it indicates if the background of the page is dark or light, this is much less helpful than knowing if the plugin is "active"/"on."

While the extension does work - it is far too aggressive at enabling itself all the time on new sites, and makes them look terrible. So I can't just leave it dormant until I need it and then turn it on. Sadly I will have to keep looking for an extension!
