Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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 your 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.

This does a good job of doing what it is intended to do. It would be a better product if they could work out the code so images were not inverted, though i imagine that is a lot more complicated than it sounds. My main issue with this extension right now is with a recent update to Chrome it is now making buttons and checkboxes invisible (full black on black backgrounds). That has forced me to start using Firefox with a comparable extension until they fix this.

As of a few days ago, it started breaking sites - as others have noted, there is tearing, particularly with menubars at the top of pages (facebook is especially bad). Before then it was marginally useful - B&W is less obvious to passerby and useful for low profile browsing in high traffic environments. Needed better controls for implementing (Toggle switch, instead of having to go through 3 clicks to do anything). Also, scroll bars were useless and corrupted at all times even before the last update, needs to be fixed to polish the extension. With the recent breaking, I've uninstalled or disabled on all of my machines.

Would be better if it didn't images or had an option to control that. Also on Chrome 26 it inverts drop downlists, making the initial selection difficult to read.

Was working great until this past weekend. Now I get crazy tearing when I scroll up unless I disable this extension.

By default this plugin applies to ALL websites! There is no way to disable this feature except by manually changing it's settings per site. I only wanted one or two sites adjusted, not every site I visit. And since it's default is invert, it ruins the majority of sites out there. Totally unusable.

not bad, honestly but i think it needs more colors like black on _____, suck as cyan or neon green, it would make it more maliuble and user friendly. it needs a button that opens a color selector so you can use your own combination of colors

Vraiment très bonne application !! J'ai activé le mode "Contrastes Elevé 2" sur mon ordinateur, ça fait vraimment une belle et bonne ambiance geek ! Je conseil.
