There are several excellent Chrome extensions that can help you enable dark mode for websites, each with its own features and customization options. Here are some of the best ones:
Dark Mode
1
- Features: A basic, no-frills dark mode extension that simply converts websites into dark themes. It doesn’t offer as many options for customization, but it's lightweight and straightforward.
- Customization: Limited compared to others, but you can toggle dark mode on or off with a simple click.
- Performance: Very lightweight, great for users looking for a basic, fast solution.
Night Eye
1
- Features: Night Eye analyzes each website and carefully converts it into dark mode while preserving the natural feel of the site's colors. It also has options to adjust brightness, contrast, and more.
- Customization: It offers free and pro versions with varying levels of customization, including the ability to turn dark mode off on certain sites.
- Performance: Good performance overall, but some features (like advanced color settings) are behind a paywall.
Midnight Lizard
1
- Features: Offers advanced customization with multiple preset themes (like dark, dimmed, or sepia) and allows for fine-tuning individual colors of text, background, and buttons.
- Customization: More control than most extensions, including settings for color schemes and applying different schemes to different sites.
- Performance: Slightly heavier due to its extensive customization options, but generally smooth.
Super Dark Mode
1
- Features: A simple and lightweight extension that enables dark mode on almost every website. It has a "Schedule" option, allowing you to set specific times for when dark mode should be activated.
- Customization: It includes options to enable dark mode on specific websites or exclude sites where you prefer not to have dark mode.
- Performance: It is very lightweight and does not impact browser performance significantly.
Dark Reader
1
- Features: One of the most popular dark mode extensions, Dark Reader inverts bright colors to dark and allows you to adjust brightness, contrast, sepia filter, and more. It works well on almost all websites.
- Customization: You can adjust specific settings for different websites or disable it for particular sites. It also includes a light mode for sites that are already dark by default.
- Performance: Known for being relatively lightweight, but can slow down performance slightly on some very heavy or image-rich websites.
Each of these extensions offers a great experience, but if you want a mix of performance, customization, and reliability, Dark Reader is often considered the best overall. For simplicity and ease of use, Super Dark Mode is also a solid choice.
