Browse with the assurance that your eyes are protected with this incredible extension from Grephy.
Get Dark Mode
Dark Mode by Grephy is just one of many Chromium-based browser extensions available on our website. In fact, we have a top 10 list of the best Dark Mode extensions for Chrome that will take you directly to the Dark Mode download page. Once there, it’s as simple as hitting Add to Chrome, and the extension will automatically download and install onto your browser.
Open Dark Mode
All you need to do in order to harness the power of Dark Mode for Chrome is to head up to the button shaped like a puzzle piece. That’s where all your extensions are stored. Click on the puzzle piece and then hit the Dark Mode extension. As soon as you do this, you should see an immediate change to your current browser tab.
I opened the extension while writing this article, and immediately the border of my browser tab went dark. The various buttons and gizmos, such as the floating Grammarly alert I use, also instantly changed to more saturated colors so that they stand out against the new dark interface.
Options
If you’re anything like me, you assumed that hitting the extension a second time may open up a list of options or a context menu of some sort. As it turns out, it does not. All it does is deactivate the extension. To open the context menu and extension options, you need to click on the puzzle piece again and then click on the hamburger menu next to the Dark Mode extension. This will open up a context menu that gives you access to all sorts of options.
Tweak your Dark Mode Experience
Dark Mode by Grephy is the quintessential dark mode extension for Chromium-based browsers if you love customizability. Dark Mode is incredibly intuitive and offers over 50 different themes to choose from. You can also choose to disallow certain web pages from using Dark Mode.
For instance, if you prefer to use Yandex in light mode while the rest of your browsing experience is dark, you can set the extension to behave in such a way. Inversely, if you only want to use Twitch in dark mode, you can deselect every other option to make it so.
There’s a massive breadth of the list of options you can tweak aside from themes. While some of these require a little programming language know-how to understand exactly what changes they result in, the bulk of the extension’s options and tweaks are perfectly suitable for the average PC user.
