"Dark Reader" Chrome Extension For Lessening Eye Fatigue

John Empoliti

I find the pastel/lighter colors/ low contrast of some websites, including the FS Community and Web Indexing components, a bit tough on my eyes. If you feel that way too, there is a free (they accept/request donations) Chrome Extension that can help - it is called Dark Reader. It is also available as an App ($4.99) for IOS (and maybe Android) devices. Seems to be just for Safari on IOS.

Below is a link to a recent "Suggest an Idea" proposal requesting that a "dark/nighttime mode" be included as an option in the FS Community sites. I posted a comment with some information on "dark mode" options, including Dark Reader. I'm re-posting it here because I'm pretty sure that not everybody looks at the "Suggest an Idea" forum. While you're there, you might consider "up-voting" the suggestion.
