Midnight Lizard

Custom color schemes for all websites: night mode, dark themes, blue light filter, screen shader, high contrast, grayscale, etc.

Midnight Lizard is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms your browsing experience with customizable color schemes across all websites. Choose from predefined options like night mode, dark themes, grayscale, or colorful palettes, or create your own tailored to your preferences. It offers features such as adjustable brightness, saturation, contrast, and hues to improve accessibility and readability. Enhance eye comfort with blue light filtering that shifts colors towards red light without inverting images.

The extension supports website-specific color schemes, scheduling for automatic activation, keyboard shortcuts for quick toggling, and syncing of your personalized settings. It's designed for flexibility, allowing global or per-website application with whitelist or blacklist modes, and optimizing performance with a simplified mode for heavy sites. Open source and community-supported, Midnight Lizard brings a rich set of tools to make web pages more comfortable and easier to read while protecting your eyes during extended screen time.

User reviews

Midnight Lizard is praised for its functionality and ability to customize website colors per site. However, users report performance issues such as slowdowns and glitches, especially on sites like YouTube and claude.ai. The lack of a simple per-site toggle frustrates users, and the filter settings can be complicated to manage, making it less user-friendly compared to alternatives like Dark Reader.
Pros
  • Highly functional and useful for customizing website colors.
  • One of the few add-ons that allows customization of text and link colors per site without CSS.
  • Effectively darkens sites, similar to Dark Reader.
Cons
  • Causes performance issues, including slowing down sites and glitches on sites like YouTube and claude.ai.
  • Lacks an easy per-site toggle to enable or disable the add-on.
  • Interface and filter settings can be tricky to understand and adjust, especially on complex sites like YouTube.
