## Description

Night Mode Pro is a versatile Chrome extension designed to protect your eyes by switching your browser display between day and night modes. With a simple toggle, you can dim your screen brightness in darker environments, reducing eye strain and creating a more comfortable browsing experience. The extension adjusts not only the background but also text colors to ensure readability in night mode. Features include easy brightness control, automatic color adjustments for night or day modes, and a whitelist option to exclude specific websites from night mode if compatibility issues arise. Ideal for users who spend long hours online, Night Mode Pro helps maintain eye health by reducing exposure to harsh lighting during nighttime browsing.

## Review summary

Night Mode Pro is praised for its fast, lightweight design and useful keyboard shortcut toggle, working well on many sites without breaking functionality. However, multiple users report serious performance issues like browser lag and freezing. There is a common complaint about the lack of a domain whitelist/blacklist feature for more precise control. Additionally, the extension can make some sites unreadable or hide important UI elements. Some users also disliked the post-disable donation popups. Improvements in selective domain control and performance would enhance user experience.

### Pros

- Provides keyboard shortcut toggle functionality, which is rare among similar add-ons.
- Fast and lightweight compared to other night mode extensions that render pages.
- Effectively applies dark mode without breaking website functionality on many sites.
- Free and easy to use for users seeking a night mode experience.

### Cons

- Slows down browser performance and can cause freezing or lag, even on powerful hardware.
- Lacks option to whitelist or blacklist specific domains for selective dark mode application.
- Makes some websites unreadable or breaks visibility of certain elements (e.g., buttons in Gmail).
- Displays unwanted donation popups after being disabled, annoying users.
