Can I pin the Invert Page filter for accessibility
-
I'd love to pin the Invert Page filter for all sites or specific sites.... With so many hours on the PC all I need high contrast to make viewing easier on eye strain. Thanks! Love the browser, if you want me to contribute the code I will take a stab at it

@lovethisbrowser Not currently possible.
Vote for Persistent Page Actions
Meanwhile, you could try enabling Reader View. That is not available on all sites, but it is persistent. There is a dark mode or a Theme mode.

I would recommend using the Stylus extension, which can be installed from the Chrome Web Store.
Through the use of stylesheets (CSS), you can do more than just what the invert filter does, and have it apply to all websites. You can use whatever colors you prefer for the various types of elements on webpages. You can have your base default style that applies to most sites, and then a modified or completely different style for specific sites of your choosing. You can modify fonts as well as colors. You can change the colors & fonts on-the-fly though the extension's popup. You can turn off individual styles on a per site basis. And if you don't want to deal with creating the styles yourself, you can install countless user submitted styles through the extension popup, which will show styles relevant to the current website as well as global styles. These can also be good places to begin writing your own styles, simply by modifying them after install -- so you don't have to start from scratch, or even really understand CSS, you can just look for the color names or codes and alter them as you see fit.
It's open source (see the first link), and does not track you or otherwise invade your privacy. It may seem a bit daunting at first, especially if you don't understand CSS, but it is just a simple markup language with a short learning curve. You don't need to become proficient in CSS, capable of designing & building websites. You simply need to learn the basics of the language, and learning how to inspect a page in dev tools to find the relevant tags you need to create in order to style the desired elements (also much easier than it may initially appear to be).
That would basically give you the ability to change the color & font of every piece of any webpage. After a month or so, with regular use, most people should gain that level of proficiency over a very powerful tool.
