This is a great add-on, in tandem with f.lux/redshift it really helps with eyestrain and headaches from being on the computer.

I would disagree with a previous poster that it is intuitive; it really isn't. Yes, you can hover to see the tootips, but trying to figure out how to change the colors and predicting what change will cause what, is still a bit of a process. Also, for some reason it now starts up automatically set up to only colorize pages in the white list. This seems like a bit of a troll move, and is a recent change. Why u do dis?

Unfortuately, because the presets are either very dark/high contrast or very light and bright, you will likely need to make your own. You may end up spending hours getting 4 or so set up just right, only to log in one day to see it has either reset or the colors have changed. This seems to track with updates.

Also, the profile seems to save locally, as when I had to reset my comp, or if I log in from another comp, the color profiles are back to the default. I haven't been able figure out how to save/back up the profiles so I don't have to start from scratch every time.

Despite all of this, I would still recommend it, because when all is working right, it's AWESOME.

One last thing: I would contribute in a heartbeat if I could pay through Amazon. That's how Wikipedia gets me every year. Just about everyone has an Amazon account these days.
