These days, mobile (phone & tablet) internet users are growing faster than the desktop internet users. And as a mobile user you always want to get your personal information from wherever you are on the world. If you are in China, Canada, India or just in Belgium to do a walk at the Belgique coast. When you browse the web in our dark mobile web browser the chances is big that one of this information can be your password.

One of the best password manager tool for macOS and Windows is 1Password. This secures your login information and other passwords.
We are happy to announce that the 1Password extension is now available inside the Turn Off the Lights iPhone / iPad app. When you browse the web you can access your personal login information direct from our app.

1Password Extension

You can open the 1Password app directly from the Bookmarks side panel by swiping your finger from the right edge of your phone to left. Or by clicking on the three dots icon at the top right of your screen -> you see the setting menu show up and tap now on the menu item -> Bookmarks.

If the 1Password is not installed on your device, it shows you the default share action icon from iOS. Where you can also copy the text, add the page to your reading list or print the web page.

Turn Off the Lights dark mobile web browser supports the 1Password extension in the app version 1.2.7 and higher. You can download the update here or from the Apple App Store. It is currently only available for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad users.

We hope you like this free update. And you can always support our work by translating our Turn Off the Lights project or by making a small donation to keep this project alive.

One of the most loved feature that our users love in the Turn Off the Lights Browser extension is the Night Mode. The Night Mode feature converts all web pages to a dark theme with one tap on the switch. It increases battery life (less brightness of the display screen), reduces his eye strain, helps with his migraines. And Night Mode gets even better today.

The Ultimate dark theme for Android

Night Mode
If you are using now the Turn Off the Lights Android you can enable the option to show a switch below in the browser. Tap on the switch and you can get a darker website.

It’s not one JavaScript line that adds a CSS style to invert the web page with a filter.
body { -webkit-filter: invert(100%);filter: invert(100%); }
Some developers do this to invert the website content, but that break the whole website content for the users. While it invert also the images on the news article.
Our Advanced code is better in performance and change the color for each text element, text to white and background to black.

Default is this feature disabled, and you can enable it on the three dots icon -> Settings -> Turn Off the Lights Settings -> Night Mode -> Show the switch on the web page.

Share Dialog
There is now a more beautiful share page. With one tap on the Share menu, you can choose on what platform you want to share this URL. Or you can even send it as SMS or email to your friends.

It’s the most powerful update ever for the Turn Off the Lights Android app. You can get the free update today in the Google Play Store. (the new features are also available for the iPhone and iPad users)

User Interface

In the previous Turn Off the Lights iOS app version, it was kindly different to close the ‘new tab’ that is already open. To close that ‘new tab’, you must do a long press on the tab name, and then you see the dialog box to remove your chosen tab.
In this new app version we make it a bit easy for you as a user. We added right of the new tab title an X icon. So you can close easy the new tab page. This feature is also available in the bookmarks sidebar on your right side.
