About Chrome Dark Mode Toggle

This extension allows you to override the value of `prefers-color-scheme` on a per-origin basis. That way, if a site uses `prefers-color-scheme` in their stylesheet, you can keep your OS in Light Mode while watching a site in Dark Mode (or vice versa). The override gets stored in the extension’s storage and gets synced to your Chrome profile so the next time you open the tab, the preference will be reapplied. This extension relies on the Web Preferences API, an Experimental Web Platform Feature in Chrome. You can enable the Web Preferences API by launching Chrome with `--enable-features=WebPreferences` or by enabling the “Experimental Web Platform Features” flag through `chrome://flags`. Because the extension is powered by the Web Preferences API, this also means that sites can change the preference through that API, which in turn gets picked up by the extension.
