Dark Night Mode is a Free Open Source Software which makes all the websites you browse into dark/night mode so that you can browse the internet without straining your eyes. It is an extremely useful chrome extension for those who use internet especially at night.
We use a unique algorithm to apply dark mode to all the websites in real-time as you browse. It basically detects the color of each element of a website and intelligently converts it to a darker shade. Bright colors are darkened at more intensity than dark colors so that most of the colors are preserved. Unlike other similar extensions, we do NOT invert the colors, so black websites will not change its color into white. An added benefit is that the images will also not be distorted! I think we were hit by the one-star-bot-ratings because we were the only extension to have this intelligent-algorithm. Now, after this extension became popular, one another super famous extension have copied this feature of ours.
We have also put immense effort in eliminating the flashes of bright white screen while loading different websites. It was a challenging task due to the limitations of chrome, but we were able to eliminate this problem with 99.9% success rate.
Using the brightness slider, you can adjust the brightness of your browser beyond what your computer's brightness adjuster allows. This is useful in dimming the brightness to your likening. For example, by default the images are shown with normal color, but you can darken it by sliding down the brightness slider.
There is also an Auto mode which will automatically turn on the Dark Mode at night 8:00PM and will turn off at morning 6:00AM. It was complicated to develop an option to customize this timing, but we are working on it and may add this option in the future versions.
There is also Whitelist feature which can be helpful if you do not want the dark mode to work on certain websites.
Since this extension will darken all the websites you visit at night, you will initially not enjoy it due to the huge change in your routine. However, our internal studies have shown that people start getting used to it after about three weeks of use. Some people have claimed that this extension helps them sleep better while some others have said that it helped them reduce the burning sensation in their eyes caused by extensive browsing of the internet in the dark.
This plugin is NOT 100% perfect. It never will be perfect because many websites are developed in a non-standard fashion and there is no easy way to detect a site and perfectly change its colors in real time withing milli-seconds so that the user do not see the bright colors. It is a double edged sword - If we add more conditions to make the algorithm smarter, then it will affect the processing speed and the user will see flashes of white light, so we had to make some choices to get an optimal balance.
If you want your browser window to also look black similar to how it is shown in the screenshots, then you must install a Dark Chrome theme as well. We suggest to search "Morpheon Dark Theme" and install it in google chrome.
It took us - two developers two whole months of full time developmental efforts to conceptualize, design, code, test, calibrate and deploy this extension. We had initially started it as a side project aiming to make it in couple of days, but it ended up taking significantly more time than expected! We hope you enjoy it.

- (2023-06-08) Michael Paterek: Finally something that saves me eye strain and helps me sleep better. It's not perfect (as the developers point out), but it's definitely a game-changer.
- (2023-05-01) Daiana Cabrel: Muy buena, perdí mucho tiempo buscando una buena extension porque la mayoria me cambiaba mucho el diseño de la pagina, pero esta es genial.
- (2023-03-11) Lenin Diaz: Great so fat,,, it make all that white background go away
- (2023-01-24) Tarik Özbay: habe viele dark modes ausprobiert doch dieser hier gefällt mir am besten!
- (2023-01-08) Taras: Works well but does not include styles for visited URLs which make visited links to look similar to new ones in the dark mode. Had to add the following styles into the extension global-new.css file to make visited links to look differently: html > body[class] a:visited,html > body[class] a[class]:visited { color: #c58af9 !important; }
- (2022-12-16) Bijita Kc: Doesn't really work on most sites
- (2022-11-03) Τα Ράττι: super!!

- (2022-10-28) Bireswar Shil: awesome
- (2022-10-16) Justin Lumpkin: I have been looking for exactly this functionality for a while. Does exactly what is specified
- (2022-10-06) Der Jens: Superb, exactly what I was looking for. I'm super tired and just wanted to google something and it burned my retinas. Quick fix, but only installed it like 15 minutes ago. Seems to do what it's supposed to. Some sites look a little funny or won't show properly due to overlaid popups but it can be easily disabled and enabled again and has a whitelist feature, so its not a big problem. I like it.
- (2022-09-18) Alone 89: good
- (2022-09-05) Muhammad Mushfiqur Rahman: I tried several similar extensions. But only this one did what I want. The ONLY ONE worked for me.
- (2022-08-29) Jes: Though I really hate downloading and using extensions that are a bit shady but at least for now it's working "right". I don't recommend it because it might have suspicious code implemented. Just bear with the portable sunlight if you can.
- (2022-08-18) Cody “Cod” Botha: It does it's job on the site I got it for
- (2022-08-04) Siegfried Heilmeier: Funktioniert
- (2022-08-01) Irfan James: It doesn't work on Google Pages (any of them) at all. Google Account Manager, Google Sign in page everything.
- (2022-07-11) Austin Bryan: Doesn't do anything at all.
- (2022-06-04) Bilge Çelik: I've tried almost all other dark mode extensions before. I can confidently say Dark Night Mode does what the developers claim to do. In other ones, I had small but frustrating glitches, such as links appearing in a light-color box which normally would be just text, highly contrasting colors which would look unnatural and discomforting, etc. BUT, there are two serious downsides. In Chrome searches, I want to see the keywords in search results. The extension makes this rather difficult. Also, in normal mode, a Chrome search result will change color from blue to purple when the link is clicked. I can't see which result I've opened before. These two reasons are enough for me to remove the extension, because I use Chrome for research and keywords are crucial. And that would mean a serious waste of time for me if I cannot see I've visited a website before and enter that site again.
- (2022-06-03) Minecrafter And More Games: This extension is amazing! Quick and easy way to make websites that don't have dark mode embedded in them, dark mode! Really recommend this when you are using chrome at like 3am.
- (2022-05-29) Darius: Until now the best add-one which I found. an automatic setting for dark mode depending on the system preference or a specific location will make it perfect. but still, 5 stars are worth, because I believe you will add it in the future. thanks for your addon!
- (2022-05-16) emile hajj: It's great but does not work on google sheets, other than that it's all good.
- (2022-02-08) David Kennedy: Works great for most websites. Only issue is on google image search it'll black out all results unless you turn it off of automatic. It also sometimes doesn't dark mode a website for some reason. Otherwise it works great 90% of the time and is a necessary app to stave off headaches.
- (2022-01-17) 꿀꿀때지: This extension is my Hero!!! Thank you developer ~~!! I use several extension like this. but this extension is best!! Thankyou@
- (2022-01-12) Subatomic Nucleotide: Best dark mode extension I've found, and have tried at least 4. Question: How can I export whitelisted sites for use on a different computer. It would be a convenient feature to not have to re-whitelist all sites. Thank you.
- (2021-12-03) Jonathan Amlod: thank you dark night team <3
- (2021-11-24) Christian Michael Quinto Sotomayor: very good
- (2021-10-13) Matthew Chalk: Intrusively advertises other extensions. Awful
- (2021-10-08) Shivam Pathak: I use websites like leetcode and hackerrank and it completely removes coloring of code in editor. In my opinion Dark Reader is miles ahead of others.
- (2021-10-01) FOOD COURT: installed this extension to add dark mode on mdn developer tools.thanks to god it worked ,if found any error will update you
- (2021-09-30) Deltacrucis: I Am Vengeance! I Am The Night!
- (2021-09-30) Stefan Sasse: Doesn't work
- (2021-09-24) Mojtaba Vahdati: Good, but some visual information are lost, like on Google, websites you've visited already vs the ones you have not. Or on some websites that accept star rating, the stars are all the same when you choose a rating. Overall, this is a good extension if you don't mind such details.
- (2021-09-23) Lucy Heartfilia: Just tried this and wow, I'm loving it! Way better than any other dark mode extensions I've used! great job, dev!
- (2021-08-05) Joseph Condori Zevallos: La mejor extensión de dark mode que probé, por lo menos es la que menos problemas de conversión tiene.
- (2021-07-27) nikos efthias: it breaks amazon but everything else works fine so far. I used to use dark reader but I really got tired of waiting pages to color themselves after the load this extension is perfect compared to that
- (2021-07-13) Sohan Shah: It is the worst thing ever which didn't even work
- (2021-07-05) Rich Merlino: I wish I had this 20 years ago. At least I have it now =)
- (2021-06-24) Tanvir Zuhayr: its the best basically
- (2021-06-23) Martin Cigorraga: Best of its breed! Also features a super handy button to quickly whitelist any site (like Tabnine).
- (2021-05-28) Welly: doesn`t work
- (2021-05-25) Leonardo Reyes: nashe
- (2021-05-16) Manohar: Working very well on all sites... :)
- (2021-05-03) Ezequiel Gómez: el mejor
- (2021-04-30) Lucila G: alright i really liked it, at first it wasnt running on my computer but then after a day it finally worked. my only complain is that when it comes to pinterest, the photos turn completely black. i really likes how the background becomes dark tho but its a shame the photos are not loading correctly:(
- (2021-04-24) Haradhat Ramanathan: I don't know about the accusations against it but it doesn't look the best. It does have a nice black colour but desaturates all the colours, most notably orange. There are many other extensions for this, don't get this one.
- (2021-04-10) v85 eternal: Недоделано.
