Most video portals like Youtube or Dailymotion display lots of contents next to the videos that they host on their websites. This includes advertisements, user comments, the site navigation and other features like related videos. Those elements can be a distraction especially for sensitive Internet users.
Turn Off The Light is an extension for the Google Chrome web browser that can dim all elements on pages with videos but the video itself.
The extension will display a black light bulb in the Chrome address bar whenever it detects a video on a page. A click on that icon dims all elements on that page so that it becomes easier to concentrate on the video that is played on the page.
The opacity can be configured in the options of the extension. It is by default set to 80 and the color black. Both the percentage of the opacity and the color can be defined in the options. It is for instance possible to dim the video pages completely so that no element but the video is displayed during playback.
The only other option that is offered by Turn Off The Light is the setting to automatically dim the background on Youtube.
Turn Off The Light is compatible with many different video portals, we have not encountered any in our tests that did not work. The extension can be downloaded from Google’s official Google Chrome Extension gallery
