About this extension
Even if you're using dark mode your eyes can still hurt by bright images/videos. This addon places a dark overlay infront of everything on the page to dim the brightness.
  • Toggle Dim (All tabs):
    Ctrl + Alt + N (Linux/Windows), ⌘ + ⌥ + N (Mac)
  • Toggle Dim (Active tab only):
    Ctrl + Alt + B (Linux/Windows), ⌘ + ⌥ + B (Mac)
