How to Fix Inverted Images in Dark Mode Extensions

If you are using a cheap inversion tool to get dark mode, you will frequently experience horrifyingly inverted images where faces look blue and night skies look white.
To fix inverted images, you must ditch blanket CSS filters and use a semantic dark theme injector. The Modern Dark Mode extension solves this by scanning the HTML tags. It applies darkness strictly to the structural backgrounds ( Try Modern Dark Mode — Free No subscription. No data collection. Install in seconds.) but places a CSS not() pseudo-class on all media elements. If you encounter an irregularly coded image that still inverts, the extension typically offers a quick right-click context menu to exclude that specific element.
