A softer side
of the web.
Readable dark mode for websites, including the ones that don’t have it. A little less glare. A little more you.
Your sites. Your choice.
Turn dark mode on for a website and Afterdark remembers that hostname across page reloads and browser restarts.
Set it. Leave it on.
Always on themes supported websites in open and new tabs. Switch it off to return to your individual site choices.
Find your shade.
Choose Charcoal, Midnight, or Warm. Adjust brightness, contrast, and warmth while preserving original page fonts and layout.
SAME PAGE. A DIFFERENT FEEL.
Make room for comfortable reading.
Text, backgrounds, links, and controls adapt together. Photographs and videos keep their natural colors wherever supported.
Screenshots show an illustrative demo website with the actual extension enabled and disabled.
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
Three steps.
A calmer page.
Open a website.
Pin Afterdark in Chrome and click its moon icon. Dark mode starts off until you choose to enable it.
Choose your mode.
Enable This website for the current hostname, or Always on for all supported websites. Chrome must allow Afterdark access to the sites you want to theme.
Make it yours.
Pick a palette and adjust the sliders. Use Alt + Shift + D to toggle a site when Always on is off; customize it in Chrome’s extension shortcut settings.
YOUR BROWSER. YOUR SETTINGS.
Built to work on your device.
Afterdark processes webpage styles and website addresses to apply your choices. Preferences and selected hostnames stay local. The extension has no accounts, advertising, or analytics, and does not send page content or saved settings to Krisp Byte.
It may retrieve CSS and images from a website’s resource servers and cache visual information locally. The privacy policy explains these requests, storage, and your controls.
Read the Afterdark privacy policyDoes it work on every page?
Afterdark supports HTTP and HTTPS websites. Chrome blocks extensions on internal pages, New Tab, the Chrome Web Store, and other extensions’ pages. Afterdark does not theme Chrome’s toolbar, its built-in PDF viewer, or local files.
What if part of a website looks wrong?
Text inside images, canvas, or video and some closed web components may not adapt. Restricted resources can also limit theming. Turn off the site toggle when Always on is off, and contact us with the website address and a description of the issue. Avoid including private page content.
Does Always on replace my saved sites?
No. Always on takes priority while enabled. Turning it off restores your saved site choices. Reset appearance changes the palette and sliders only.
Is Afterdark an official Dark Reader extension?
Afterdark uses the bundled, MIT-licensed Dark Reader engine. It is an independent extension by Krisp Byte and is not an official Dark Reader product.
