Dark Mode

Adds a dark screen over everything rather than other high contrast "Dark mode" extensions

Firefox Add-On Dark Mode | Full Web Screen Night Experience

"Dark Mode" is a Firefox extension that overlays a dark, translucent screen on top of your browsing pages. Unlike other extensions that rely on high contrast and disrupt the aesthetic appeal of websites, Dark Mode does not interfere with the sites' original styling. Ideal for night or low-light browsing, it introduces a more comfortable view without changing any web elements.
