Great job, dood! Here's to more successful projects in the future! I'll have to get around writing my own extensions as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

For anyone looking for a Chrome equivalent, @shindakun wrote a quick extension for you. It's not published in the Chrome Web Store, so you have to manually unpack and install it yourself via the Extensions menu in Developer Mode.

I whipped up a quick Chrome extension for anyone who wants to autoload dark mode for now. Just clone and load the unpacked extension.

WOW. You pulled it off in two browsers! I know it's simple to activate the dark theme programmatically, but you were still able to make two extensions for two browsers. Regardless of difficulty, that deserves some respect points. Keep up the great work, man.

But I think I forgot Developers have to pay $5 to verify and upload extensions so, for now, I can't publish to the Chrome Web Store! :(

Awwwww, man. Even though it's a one-time fee, paying $5 upfront isn't practical unless you're a developer making extensions professionally (and earning from it), not as a hobby.

And For Students like us, it's totally impossible, my parents wouldn't allow me to spend on these...

$5 is little expensive in India :( , it's almost 350.12INR, I would probably buy a good storybook or novel with this money instead of paying for just verification

Yo, sameee. Times are just tough nowadays.

Fear not, with enough effort and hard work, we'll be able to go through the struggles and become the best we can be.
