Dark Reader Extension (Dark Mode)
Dark Reader is a browser plugin that provides the dark mode feature in web browsers.
While using a computer, the white light on the screen tires the eyes of the users a lot. In general, since not every website has a dark mode feature, you can activate the dark mode on websites with the Dark Reader browser plug-in, and adjust the brightness and contrast.
More than 3 million users use the open source browser plug-in developed since 2014.
You can use popular websites such as Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Google Search, Wikipedia and Twitter and even more in dark mode.
