Dark Night Mode for Chrome

If the brightness of the websites bothers you or perhaps, you are working during the night, then you do not have to invest in a better monitor just yet. An alternative to changing the actual monitor and that can help you prevent eye strain are the browser extensions that enable you to darken all the websites you are visiting.

Dark Night Mode is a Chrome add-on designed to help you make all the websites you visit dark and hence, ensure that your eyes are not as affected, mainly if you need to browse a lot during the night.

Since it is an extension, it goes without saying that you need to have Chrome installed on your computer. As far as the installation goes, once you access the download link, you can preview a popup window that prompts you to add to Chrome.

The idea behind the application is to darken the elements of the websites so that they have a lesser harmful effect on your eyes. According to the developer, the addon achieves this by detecting the colors and converting them to a darkened shade. The extension comes with a brightness adjustment bar, you can decide just how dark the websites are going to be.

For enhanced convenience, the addon comes with an Auto mode, a feature that automatically turns the websites to the dark mode between 8 in the evening and 6 in the morning. In case you do not want the night mode to be applied to certain sites, then you can use the Whitelist feature.

It is worth mentioning that the advantage of the algorithm used is that the images included on the sites are not distorted and, since it does not rely on the inversion method, you do not have to worry that the dark backgrounds can turn white.

Regardless of whether you are working during the night, need to constantly access websites that embed  flashy colors or elements or maybe, you simply have more sensitive eyes, Dark Night Mode is a utility that can lend a hand with protecting your health.
