have to refresh it every single time I enter a new page, should just be automatic

Literally does nothing at all. Absolutely useless.

I have to manually toggle it on every single time I go to a different page, even if it's the same tab. Really disappointed because the color filter itself is great. It's just unusable.

In Google Docs, it shows the web page for a split second and then goes completely white.

Pretty much worthless. It definitely increases the contrast, but not between the colors which I have most problems differentiating.

There was no change, and it didn't even pop up in my browser most of the time. No instruction except for a sight test with colored and faint stars. I thought I was going to be able to color code, but I guess it's just a cheap idea from google. (sorry so rough. iscolation is killing us all)

It did nothing. The colors on my screen are terrible I am used to being able to adjust all the colors and resolution on my old computer that had windows and i can't do it on my chromebook. It is frustrating!

This thing sucks and it does NOT let me change the color nor does it show very good color!! The color is very very bad and I tried to fix it but it ended up very faded and pale!

Color enhancer does not work. Being red green colorblind, pastel screen text is very hard to read. No option to change text to black and white.

It does not seem to change colors and for some reason it is also interfering with my logon to some websites. It is messing with persistence cookies. There should be no reason a plug in to change colors should do that.

I am unsure as to which extension it is, but when I've used extensions, I find that some of the pages/sites I use everyday, started jamming up, wouldn't immediately post certain things until I scrolled up or down. I am removing all chrome extensions, but I have noticed I am not the only one with the scrolling problem and functionality issues. See other comments. Thank you for those who pointed out their issues. I didn't note any change in color, my computer is about four years old, and I've never had issues with the color, this didn't make anything more clear.

So I installed this and forgot about it because nothing seemed to have changed at all. Then I suddenly found myself completely unable to use Chrome Browser. I couldn't figure out why, but everything was broken. I disabled all my extensions and re-enabled them one by one and when I re-enabled this the problem came back. I've since removed it and have not had the issue again at all.

For some reason this made my Chrome browser unusable. Pages just seem to stop working or freeze. Google Docs would not scroll up or down and various other issues. I've removed this and everything works fine.

When this extension was enabled, I experienced long (multiple second) delays on many websites, especially with autocomplete in text fields. It took me a few frustrating days before I realized that this extension was causing the problems.

I have found out that lately this extension causes google sheet, google docs, hangouts and more to stuck. I really liked this extension since i'm color blind, i used to use it a lot.I hope you will fix this.

Breaks many pages in macOS Sierra on a retina screen. Some tabs end up a flat grey.

The current version of the plugin causes some areas, sometimes the entire page, to render white after initial load & a brief flash of content. If you view https://webkit.org/blog-files/3d-transforms/poster-circle.html with this plugin enabled, you will probably only see a portion of the animated area actually moving, while the rest of it is frozen unless you are scrolling the page.

this extension sucks it makes it impossible to see any background type and will not let me change settings or delete. I hate it and will simply stop using Chrome

How do you delete this sucker? I think it is the source of my new printer problem, but I can't figure out how to disable/delete this ap. What a pain in the butt.

I could write a new review, but this review by Jorge Raigoza summarized my thoughts perfectly "First, I'm red and green color blind. Second, no, this extension doesn't solve the color blindness issue. It might help in some areas, but it's close to useless in my case. The 2 biggest issues I have are: Google search results (Visited links vs. non-visited links), and Google maps traffic. The color in both sites will change slightly, regardless of the settings (My personal experience). In conclusion, I still have a hard time to tell red from green and the different blues used in Google search engine. Also, I think the ability to not affect images will be useful. Bug - Chrome Prints Blurry: If I have the extension enabled in Chrome, regardless it's active or inactive, all my prints are blurry; blurry text, blurry images, blurry everything."
