How to turn on night mode in the browser

Read text on a bright screen in a dimly lit room is not very convenient, but it can be fixed, no matter what browser you may have used. We tell how it can be done.

Firefox

To make the background and menu in Firefox dark, you need to activate a special theme. Open the "Menu» → «Extras» → «Topics" and select "Dark theme." Now the browser will be much more convenient to use the evening and night.

However, each time to open settings to change the subject, is not very convenient. But you can automate the switch by extending Automatic Dark. To do this, you just need to assign a time when Firefox has to move to the dark appearance.

However, the color of the sites does not change browser theme. In order to adapt it, also need to install a third-party expansion. For example, Dark Reader or Dark Mode. Both of them have different styles and settings, so you can adjust them to fit your preferences. Between day and night mode can be switched by simply clicking on the icon on the browser toolbar.

Well, if you do not want to install any extensions, you can use the built-in Firefox mode for night reading. Click on the button "Switch view to read" in the browser address bar, and then select the style of the text - "Dark".

Chrome

In Chrome, unlike Firefox, there is no built-in dark theme. But you can easily install third party from the Chrome Web Store. Here is a list the best darkRecommended by the Chrome Web Store. As an example, we used Material Simple Dark Grey, as the most simple and minimalist.

If you need to return the day theme, open "Menu» → «Settings", scroll down to the section "Appearance" and click "Reset". Unfortunately, the way to quickly switch between the light and dark design in Chrome does not.

Safari

Safari uses a common design theme with MacOS. In macOS Mojave became possible translate the whole system into the "Night mode".

But, as in other browsers, when activated dark theme color content sites will remain unchanged. To accommodate the pages for reading in the dark, set the expansion of Turn Off the Lights. It not only makes the YouTube viewing more comfortable, but also has a night mode that can be activated in the settings. Scroll down to the "Night mode" and activate the option "Show the switch the night mode for a Web page" to brighten or darken the page. It is possible to configure this feature so that it is launched automatically at a specified time of day. However, some sites in the Turn Off the Lights night time are displayed incorrectly.

Another solution - use a paid extension Dark Reader for Safari from the AppStore. It costs $ 4.99.
