Extended periods of computer use often lead to eye fatigue and discomfort, primarily due to excessively bright screen intensity that strains the eyes and exacerbates discomfort, worsened by sharp contrast in screen brightness.
What is Night/Dark Mode? Why Should You Use It?
The Night/Dark Mode, also known as the dark interface mode or night mode, is one of the integrated modes in Windows 10, serving not only computers but also mobile devices, especially phones, when users interact with electronic devices for extended periods.
The Night/Dark Mode helps reduce eye strain and provides a more comfortable experience for computer users.
The Night/Dark Mode is also a great option for individuals with nearsightedness or those who dislike strong light sources from computers while browsing the web. This feature, commonly used for reading books, has only recently appeared on computers, so not all users are aware of it. Unfortunately, this feature is not yet integrated into web browsers, leading many web users to feel uncomfortable during extended browsing sessions. Fortunately, the solution to this problem is simple, by installing extensions or add-ons supported on Chrome, Firefox.
Since the Windows 10 update or even without the latest Windows 10 update, users can switch the web interface to black. Adding Night/Dark Mode to Google Chrome, Cốc Cốc, and Firefox is similar to setting up dark themes for Windows 10. However, the dark theme adjustment feature for Windows 10 only applies to some installed system apps; browsers like Firefox, Chrome, or Opera will need to apply Dark Mode using add-ons and extensions.

2. Using the Dark Background and Light Text add-on
If you want to change the interface to black for every website on Firefox, you can use an add-on called Dark Background and Light Text. This tool works similarly to some extensions on Chrome, allowing quick and long-lasting transformation of the interface to black on Firefox, applicable to various websites.
Currently, almost all the best web browsers including Chrome, Cốc Cốc, Firefox, and Opera have supported the feature of changing the web interface to black to improve visual perception for web users thanks to softer and more comfortable black light compared to light from bright web interfaces. However, only the best web browsers like Chrome and Firefox currently fully support versatile extensions and add-ons, which can add Night/Dark mode synchronously and comprehensively.
If you're currently using Chrome and Firefox, why not try changing your Google Chrome wallpaper or switching to a flat interface on Chrome 52 to refresh your web browsing experience? Of course, you can't apply changing the website interface to black simultaneously with changing the Google Chrome wallpaper to refresh your interface.
