Doesn't work, makes pages not possible to see

by Carlos Z., 2024-11-17

The latest update added this thing called "auto dark" which disables the addon for the site if it detects a dark mode. This feature is awful. I use this addon ALONGSIDE dark mode, and don't want this feature to be on by default for all websites as it causes discomfort. I set my brightness to be what it is, and the previous version of the addon worked perfectly fine for this without deciding that I all-of-a-sudden don't need to dim a website because it's dark in shade. I have downgraded to the previous version until this is fixed.
