1. Reduced Eye Strain: By darkening the surrounding areas of the video player, the extension helps reduce eye strain, especially when watching videos in low-light conditions. This can be particularly beneficial during extended viewing sessions.
2. Focus on the Content: The darkened background helps draw attention to the video content itself, minimizing distractions from other elements on the webpage. This can be especially helpful on websites with cluttered interfaces.
3. Energy Savings for OLED Displays: Dark mode can be more energy-efficient on devices with OLED displays.
