Sites Dimmer - sharp brightness reduction

Extension automatically dims bright sites (which are not in a dark mode) to a desired level!

Sites Dimmer is a handy Chrome extension designed to automatically reduce the brightness of websites that lack a dark mode, creating a more comfortable browsing experience. It intelligently detects light-themed sites and dims their brightness without altering the original colors, maintaining the site's intended design aesthetics.

Key features include the ability to adjust brightness levels to your preference, enable or disable dimming per site, and a color inversion option for deeper darkening if desired. The extension icon clearly indicates when dimming is active on a page, giving you control and clarity for each browsing session.
