Darken Text is a free Chrome extension that aims to improve readability by darkening text inside <p> tags on blog and news articles. It addresses the issue of light grey text on a grey background, which can often be difficult to read. With just one click, users can activate the extension and instantly darken the text, making it more visible and easier to read.

The extension installs a button labeled "DT" that users can click on to darken the text inside <p> tags. Additionally, users can now use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+K (COMMAND+SHIFT+K on Mac) to activate the extension.

Version 1.1 of Darken Text has expanded its functionality to include other tags such as <div>, <li>, and <article>, turning the text color to black for improved readability. The developer also welcomes feature requests and offers freelance web development services.

Darken Text is a simple and useful Chrome extension for those who frequently encounter poorly readable text on websites.
