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 a functional and useful Firefox add-on praised for its customization capabilities without needing .css. However, multiple users report it slows down websites and experiences glitches, particularly on YouTube where text overlays become unreadable. The lack of a simple per-site toggle or quick on/off switch frustrates users. Additionally, the interface can be confusing due to complex filter interactions. Despite these issues, it remains one of the few add-ons offering extensive color customization for individual sites.
Pros
  • Very functional and useful add-on
  • Allows customization of text and link colors for individual websites without .css
  • Works on addon store and generally gets the job done
Cons
  • Causes slowdown on websites similar to Dark Reader
  • Issues and glitches when used with YouTube, especially with text overlays
  • Lacks an easy per-site toggle or quick on/off switch
  • Interface can be tricky to navigate with filter settings affecting each other
