Darkness: Dark Themes for Popular Websites

Darkness is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that provides dark themes for many popular websites, such as Google, Facebook, Gmail and YouTube.

Using dark themes reduces the eye strain and fatigue caused by a bright screen, helps you sleep faster and better at night, and generally makes you awesome!
