    I am looking at using the Dark Mode extension for chrome/edge. I looked at the information and it says it logs EVERYTHING you type etc. Is this true and is it something I should be worried about? I mean, I use my banking sites etc every day. What are the google masters thoughts on this?

    No.

    I was hoping that some of the resident chrome OS/Google gurus here could help me out. I tried it on my workshop computer using basic browsing and it's really good. Every website is in dark mode. Makes it much easier on the eyes.

    I think Firefox or Edge has reader mode which can switch to Light/Dark theme when reading ebooks or long text based websites.

    I also found the Dark Reader extension. Works nicely.
