On 15 December Turn Off the Lights celebrates an outstanding anniversary! In the last 10 years, we provide you the focus on only the video element, and provide you an optional Night Mode for all websites, and control the video player at your mouse click and scroll event. And make the lamp available for all platforms on the web browser, desktop, and mobile devices. This is just the beginning of an amazing web experience.

That started first on the Google Chrome web browser, receiving many updates very quickly every week. And have a hugely positive experience to bring for the Google Chrome web browser. And then this simple useful tool is ported to Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Maxthon, and the other Chromium browsers.

In the last Turn Off the Lights Chrome extension version 4.0.47.0, we did update two technology used features. That is the AutoStop and the Mouse Volume Scroll features.

AutoStop feature

In the first feature, the AutoStop code is improved that all playing HTML5 videos will be detected and that includes now also the iframe elements with the HTML5 video player inside. And with a single click on the red banner, it unlocks and plays that selected HTML5 video player. The AutoStop HTML5 video will bring you control over all those playing videos on the internet.

Mouse Volume Scroll

The Mouse Volume Scroll feature engine code is also improved. So that it even works on more video websites such as Twitch.tv, Twitter, etc. When you enable this feature in the Turn Off the Lights Options page, you can get a volume meter visible if your mouse is on top of your chosen video player. With a scroll up or down, it changes instantly the volume of that current HTML5 video player.

And in the Turn Off the Lights Options page, you can also change the way on how you want to change the volume. There is an option to control the Mouse Volume Scroll with to hold your left or right mouse button. So to make it more personal to your style, you can change the color of this blue volume meter to your own favorite color such as red, green, yellow, etc.
