⚠️ Darkness Extension is Deprecated

This browser extension is permanently non-functional as of July 2025.

What Happened?

As of July 2025, the Darkness browser extension is permanently non-functional due to Google Chrome's deprecation of Manifest V2 extensions. This affects both:

• ❌ Self-hosted version - Cannot be loaded in modern Chrome browsers
• ❌ Chrome Web Store version - Cannot be installed or used

Why This Happened

Google has deprecated Manifest V2 extensions as part of their security and performance improvements:

• January 2022: Chrome Web Store stopped accepting new Manifest V2 extensions
• June 2024: Warning banners started appearing for Manifest V2 extensions
• March 2025: Manifest V2 extensions disabled by default
• June 2025: Complete removal of Manifest V2 support in Chrome 139+
