If you’re a night owl, you know how much a plain white web page can hurt your eyes when you open it. Here are two browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that will make browsing the web a little more pleasant at night.
How to Fix Your Chromebook Screen Colors If They're Distorted/Inverted
We’ve shared a few ways to make your screen easier on the eyes in the dark , but Google recently released an extension designed to make the web more night-friendly. Here’s the lowdown on it, and a similar extension for Firefox.
Google’s official High Contrast extension for Chrome is pretty awesome. By clicking the icon in your menu bar, you can invert the colors of your web pages, turning blindingly bright black-on-white sites into white-on-black for easier viewing. It also ignores photographs, so you can still see the images without them looking like film negatives. You can also opt for an inverted grayscale if the colors are getting too weird for you.
What's especially nice is that you can set it on a per-site basis, so if you often visit sites that already have built-in "night modes" you can ignore them being flipped. And you can hit Ctrl+Shift+F11 to enable inversion on any site you like. Best of all, it looks good when it's enabled – many color inversion adjustments can make your screen look really weird, while this extension makes everything look somewhat natural.
