Overview

Change or invert the color scheme to make webpages easier to read.

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 you 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.

Malware! I was duped. This extension was just updated to 0.9.4 and it's supposedly an official Google extension, it's not.

When it works it's great. Problem is that it stops working about once a week and has to be reset. Not so big of a problem if you aren't already visually impaired, but I am, so it's annoying as heck. I don't know why this happens, perhaps there are minor updates to Chrome that cause it to stop working. As of today however, it won't reset and appearts to have stopped working altogether. I can not do without it and will hae to find an alternative.
