Super Dark Mode for Firefox

It is a well-known fact that the bluish light of the screen can put a strain on your eyes, all the more so when spending time in front of the computer during the night. One solution is to turn the dark mode on for the web browser you are using. However, while the dark mode makes the browser toolbar and other areas dark, it does not affect webpages with a light background. The Super Dark Mode for Firefox can fix that, allowing you to change the theme to black and improve eye comfort.

Deploying the Super Dark Mode addon in Firefox is very easy, as the browser automatically detects the XPI extension and prompts you to give permission for it to be installed. As soon as you do so, a new black and white icon is placed in the browser toolbar and all the opened webpages are reloaded automatically. Clicking on the icon turns the dark mode on or off but you can also use the CTRL-Q key combination to do so.

The extension applies an elegant dark theme to all the webpages you are visiting. You can enable a specialized dark mode for specific websites and pages, be them social media sites, email mailboxes, search engines or shopping websites. Moreover, aside from toggling the dark mode on demand, you can also configure Super Dark Mode to activate itself automatically in a specific time interval (for instance, during nighttime).

Aside from the modern dark mode for all the webpages, you can also configure Super Dark Mode to apply a low contrast or a low brightness theme. It is possible to create a whitelist. In other words, you can build a list of websites that will be excluded when applying the dark theme.

Those who are experienced with the CSS language can also configure a global CSS in the “Options” section of Super Dark Mode. Please keep in mind that you should leave this section blank if you have no CSS knowledge.

An addon such as Super Dark Mode makes browsing during the night less damaging to your eyes, as it can make all the visited webpages dark and thus minimize the light of your screen. As a plus, you can define exceptions for webpages you don’t want affected by the changes.
