Just recently, right-clicking on an image and "Open Image in New Tab" fails to open up an image. Turning off this extension solves this problem, so it's very likely Dark Mode.

Overall a great extension that allows me to read web pages far easier. I have only run into one issue. RealClearPolictics does not render properly when dark mode is active. The heading collapses down on some links until I turn DM off and refresh. It may be an issue with the website and not with DarkMode.
