Night Vision is an open source Chrome extension designed to make webpages easier to read at night by inverting their colors, reducing eye strain in low light conditions. The extension avoids inverting images to maintain their clarity, and offers a customizable inversion level to suit your preferences. Users can enable or disable the mode simply by clicking the icon, and access advanced options via right-click.

The extension includes a scheduling feature that automatically activates Night Vision during specified times, along with a partial mode that lets you exclude specific tabs from night mode even when it's scheduled. Developed by @RobZuazua and @nishanths, Night Vision combines simplicity with powerful customization to enhance your nighttime web browsing experience. The project is licensed under the MIT License and is available on GitHub for further contributions and customization.

User reviews

Users appreciate Night Vision for its ability to reduce eye strain during night-time browsing and ease of toggling the dark mode on/off without affecting already dark pages. It works well on some sites like Google Docs Sheets and maintains settings across page reloads. However, users report that it only partially darkens pages, can invert images and videos undesirably, and lacks a whitelist feature to prevent unwanted inversion on certain sites. Additionally, new tabs revert to default settings instead of keeping dark mode enabled globally, and some users experience browser slowdowns.

Pros

Helps reduce eye strain and is good for night-time browsing.
Easy to turn on/off and doesn't interfere with already dark pages.
Works consistently across page reloads and different sites, better than some alternatives.
Supports working with certain sites like Google Docs Sheets.
Generally praised for improving visual comfort and usability.

Cons

Does not fully darken all parts of webpages; sometimes only partial dark mode is applied.
Sometimes inverts images or videos, resulting in unnatural visuals.
No option to whitelist or exclude certain sites, causing inconvenience on dark-themed or video-heavy sites.
Settings reset when opening new tabs; cannot enable dark mode globally across all tabs at once.
Some browsers experience slowdowns or lag when using the extension.

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.

Night Vision requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Night Vision has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
