Summary
For Firefox version ≥ 95.
Minimal add-on
This is the simplest possible add-on with the least possible permissions.
Clicking the add-on action in your toolbar cycles the color scheme preference for browser content, between the following 4 values:
- dark colors
- light colors
- inherit browser colors (dark or light)
- inherit system colors (dark or light)
Fingerprinting incompatibility
Strong fingerprinting resistance (by setting the preference privacy.resistFingerprinting
) stops Firefox from disclosing your color preference to websites, which means this add-on will have no effect.
