Back in the days when I began learning to code I happened to have noticed a lot of staff from the tutorials I used to follow:
- most sites were in dark mode,
- they easily got website's colors
- page colors Am pretty sure you have encountered similar events and perhaps wondered how do they easily get this corresponding recourses they need?
Out of this curiosity I had to do some digging to find out what extensions they are using, and along the process I found pretty cool and amazing extensions and I will share them with you.
