Title: A Must-Have Tool for PDF Comfort! Review: The PDF Dark Mode extension is a game-changer. It delivers exactly what it promises - a seamless Dark Mode experience for PDFs on Edge for Windows 10. Setup is simple and the extension runs flawlessly, particularly with local PDFs. It’s an excellent solution for reducing eye strain and improving readability, especially for those of us with eye floaters. This extension focuses on improving PDF interaction, not changing the entire browser experience. Its thoughtful design and effectiveness are commendable. I highly recommend the PDF Dark Mode extension to anyone seeking a comfortable PDF viewing experience. Kudos to the developer for this brilliant tool, and I eagerly await more of such work.
