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.

It was good while it works, but it stopped working today on most sites, just leaves a blank white screen

Hasta el momento me ha funcionando sin ningún problema, y me parece lo más sencillo de utilizar.

Seems to keep stop working when you go to a different web page, so you have to constantly F5 refresh the screen and even then it sometimes doesn't work. Would be a great app if they could get it fixed and working 100% of the time but at the moment it's unusable, so it's getting removed :-(

Seems pretty good for my usage, which is reading text-heavy sites at night with inverted colors for sites that don't have their own dark mode. Something that would make it much more useful for this use case is an option to only enable the inverted modes when night mode/dark themes are enabled. It's pretty easy to do this nowadays with just CSS: `@media (prefers-color-scheme: light)` (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme). I have enabled this in my local fork and I'm satisfied with the results.

It constantly toggles off. I had hoped for something that behaved similar to the Windows High Contrast mode but this does not. Slightly disappointed.

3 huge problems with this extension: 1. Doesn't change built in pages (like this store). 2. Inverts images (says it doesn't, but it does) 3. *FAILS* constantly. I regularly have to reload pages to get it to go back to inverted colors and then it goes away again (Google Drive, & Sheets revert all the time, ESPN does any time I first load a page, The apps script editor does any time I go to triggers or executions - well, you get the idea). Why don't the developers give us a built in smart invert like iOS has? Apparently the Apple programmers are smarter than the Chrome programmers.

This messes up with photos, so it's useless for most sites. The icon (black/white circle) doesn't show. I don't mind using the keyboard, but the difference between Shift+F11 and Shift+F12 is not clear. Sometimes I have to go through the extensions icon to enable it. At least it's set on a per-site basis. So, my default is set to Normal. If I get to a site I think it may be useful on, I try it (if I remember). If I knew the usability would be so restricted, I might not have installed it. If I don't find a lot of sites to use it on, I'll remove it.

I can't tolerate dark mode and am currently using a training website, PluralSight, that has that theme. The Inverted Color option gets me to the dark-text-on-white-background look, although it messes with the images as well. That's not really a big deal, but the videos being inverted was a problem when I could not view the videos full-screen. Using the Video Filters extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-filters/glkdajeidfbnmaehchohlcdcdkledpeh) helped me to adjust the coloring on the videos, mainly by using the Invert and Brightness sliders, so that they were more viewable when I could not view them full screen, when I would just disable the High Contrast setting. Both of these extensions together make viewing the PluralSight website much more comfortable for me.
