Fiat Luxia

Fiat Luxia is a browser extension designed to enhance web readability by intelligently adjusting website themes. It aims to provide a more comfortable browsing experience by converting dark-themed websites to a lighter aesthetic.

Using the calculated Relative Luminance (Y=0.2126R+0.7152G+0.0722B), this extension identifies websites with dark backgrounds and applies a smart inversion, transforming them into a light-themed environment.

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out”. - Galadriel
