Dark Night Mode is a free, open-source Chrome extension that automatically applies a universal dark mode to all websites you visit, reducing eye strain especially during nighttime browsing. Using a unique algorithm, it intelligently darkens colors without inverting them, preserving natural visuals and preventing image distortion.

Features include a brightness slider to customize screen dimness beyond your device's settings, an Auto mode that activates dark mode between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM, and a whitelist to exclude specific websites. It also minimizes white flashes during page loads for a smoother experience. Although not perfect due to website variability, Dark Night Mode strikes an optimal balance between speed and visual comfort. Developed with care by two developers over two months, this extension helps improve sleep and reduce eye discomfort for dedicated internet users.

User reviews

Didn't work. Pages are still bright white after installing. Using Firefox on Linux Mint. Like the fact it is open-source, but what I really wanted was a simple and convenient switch to manually turn night mode on and off daily.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dark Night Mode requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
