*Chrome OLED Mode adds a pitch black theme to websites, making them high contrast and easy to read at night.
This is a resurrection of the Super Dark Mode project which got taken down from the Chrome Web Store for unknown reasons and then abandoned by it's original developer-decompiled, refactored/documented and improved upon. In my opinion, it functions way better than the popular extension 'Dark Reader'.
This extension is a static browser-side script which leverages React's dynamic rendering and live component updating mechanisms. At runtime, it waits for the DOM to finish loading, then injects content into a dedicated element (#__oled). Using ReactDOM.createRoot, it mounts a themed layout component that wraps the core UI, enabling declarative reactivity and efficient DOM updates. The layout system, sourced from @plasmo-static-common/react, applies a custom OLED-optimised stylesheet. Parcel handles bundling and dependency resolution using a simulated require system embedded in the file which mimics module caching and isolation in a browser-compatible way. Features high precision and low overhead, while maintaining compatibility with extension sandbox constraints and update mechanisms. Supports; 4 different operation modes, 40 specialized site-specific themes, whitelist management, and automatic scheduling.
