Dark color: Things to know about color when adopting dark mode

For websites, I use the Dark Reader extension, which does an incredible job turning any website into a dark version. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadp...

My main annoyance these days is that Office doesn’t let you invert the colors of a document as a display option. You have to actually change the background and text colors of the document.

I wish operating systems had a feature to invert the colors in a single window/app, as a fallback for when an application doesn’t have a dark mode.

I've tried Dark Reader and a few other similar extensions and found that they caused my fan to regularly spin up (2017 MBP, running Brave browser). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common experience?

For years a new Chrome window would flash white regardless of any extensions or settings. Following the issue it seemed to almost be fundamental to how rendering is done. Does it still do that?
