If you are someone who spends a reasonable amount of time in front of a computer, then you must be aware of how tough it becomes to stare at the screen after an extended reading or writing session.<\/span><\/p>\n It is because the web pages are throwing a white light in your face. It is not a healthy way to do more work when you have to struggle to even look at the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n If your room (or wherever you are working) does not have sufficient light, things can get ugly.<\/span><\/p>\n It is why I use Writer for Chrome and have customized it like a Dark Room app. I<\/span>\u00a0recommend that for everyone who writes long articles<\/span><\/a>. It lowers the strain in your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n And if you are someone who is researching for work, or merely browsing, there is a Chrome extension that can help you.<\/span><\/p>\n High Contrast<\/span><\/a>, as the name suggests, darkens the web pages by inverting the colors. So you see white text on a black page instead of black text on a white page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is helpful to install because you can disable\/ enable it with a simple mouse click or (<\/span>Shift + F11<\/span><\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alternatively you can also use Dark Reader<\/a>, which is similar to the high contrast, extension.<\/p>\n
