SAVING OUR ONLINE EYESIGHT - DARK READER

#1 Post by bucketfoot-al »

Like me, many of you probably get tired eyes after reading online content that consists of dark type against a light, bright background. Personally, I've come to HATE that type of layout for this very reason. :twisted: My eyes don't like bright light.

Well, today I learned about a downloadable browser extension (hey, better late than never, eh?) :wink: that you can add to your browser that will convert the format of all the websites that you visit to a dark or night format. Best of all its free. :D Its called "Dark Reader".

With my secondary cateracts being affected by bright light, I find that reading light colored type against a dark background is much easier on my eyes.

If you're in the same boat, I'd suggest you give Dark Reader it a try: https://darkreader.org/
