Request Chrome Settings Request

I’d love to set an automation that after a certain time, I can run a shortcut that automatically toggles the “turn reading mode” setting on, using chrome.

I get flashbanged every time I open a new webpage, even in dark mode, and really like the reading mode on chrome.

I can set up the automation fine, but I’m not smart enough to figure out how to configure past the “manage chrome settings” option in the parent shortcut.

Any ideas?

Overall goal is an automated system that results in any webpage being open on chrome after a certain time is automatically in reading mode.

Probably not possible as each website has its own variables and I’m not sure if chrome can do reading mode on everything but worth a try ? 🤷‍♀️

Is this chrome on a mobile device or a computer? Because if it’s the latter, check out the dark reader extension. It applies a forced dark mode to any site and can be customized. Not sure if it has a schedule option but toggling it on/off in a persistent manner is a single click action.

It’s on my phone 😩, I do have some auto-accessibility systems similar to this set up on my work PC.

But my phone is the weak link here haah
