Looking for a web browser extension that reverses web-page colors


Hi all,
I was wanting to know if there is a Firefox or Google Chrome add-on that renders the browser window background in reverse or negative colors. Example; that turns black text white and a bright white background black, etc., effectively reversing every color to it's exact opposite on the color wheel similar to film photograph negatives?
"Why?".. you might ask? Because it is easier on the eyes. Much of the text on the web tends to be black or dark colors on a light colored or bright white background. That is hard on your eyes. Especially if you tend to spend a lot of time surfing the net.

Idk about a firefox plugin, but I'm aware too of the problem of most pages being black on white, and a) tune up my LCD to reduce contrast / brightness, and b) use a compiz plugin "negative", that does just that, it turns an application (or the whole screen) into negative colors.

Firefox enables you to set your colour preferences: Edit - Preferences - Content - Colours.
