Are you tired of using browsers in the normal mode? Or you don't link the white screen of your browser. You can simply switch to dark mode on your browser and change the things.
Dark mode, Dark theme, Black mode, or Night mode is a type of Light-on-dark colour scheme. In this mode, the texts, icons, and GUI are in white while the background is either black or grey. The dark mode is a trend nowadays. The dark mode is not something that is developed recently. It was there since the dawn of computers, well it was not called dark mode at that time, it was used in terminals and it was used by technical developers in their code editors. But the craze for dark mode, that we know today, began in late-2018 and mid-2019 because of the advantages of dark mode that came to light. We’ll talk about them in the next topic.
This is a very controversial topic nowadays. Well, I’ll try to explain.
Ok, so now we will jump right to the principal topic.
You can enable Dark mode for almost every website you visit, using Dark Reader. It is free; it is open source and it is ad-free as well. It inverts all the colors of the page except for the images. You can easily toggle it on or off using shortcut Alt+Shift+D. You can also set brightness, contrast, and a couple of other filters according to your taste. Like Sepia which gives the website a yellowish effect and hence reduces blue light more effectively. It offers four types of Dark modes. You can also add custom preferences, I mean you can make a list of websites in which you want dark mode and a list of websites in which you don’t.
In Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge it is an Extension that you can add on. But for Safari you will have to download its app from the App Store and activate it from there. I’ll add all the links below.
