All websites in a dark theme with Turn Off the Lights for Android

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

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.

YouTube Video Setting

Are the YouTube videos you are watching take up too much CPU, or is the YouTube videos stutter, or even worse, it eat your battery life very quickly, or you can fry an egg on your laptop. If you got an old computer, the YouTube performance is not very well on this kind of (old) hardware. Even today, more YouTubers have uploaded the 60fps videos to YouTube.

You as a user can fix this easily with one checkbox. So its use back the Standard Frame Rate of 30fps back on all your YouTube videos (and embedded YouTube players). Open the Turn Off the Lights options page -> Basics tab. Just right of the AutoHD feature, enable the option “Block 60fps”. And now it will play them back more smoothly.
