Turning lights off in Youtube : Better watching exprience
Youtube is our paradise, right? If no, you would have not been reading this post. Here is a short thing that I would like to share, You have noticed that Youtube has a "Cinema mode" option for the videos in the video player which aligns the video player to the center of a div with 100% width.
But Cinema mode should have the lights off too, isn't it? Because in cinema they turn the lights off Well Youtube doe not understand that but some developers in this world do, they understand how easy and comfortable the watching experience becomes after the "Lights off" effect. So, they have developed the extensions for major browsers like Chrome and Firefox to overcome this shortcoming of Youtube Devs.
You can customize the opacity from the options of the extension
Now I will move on to the topic How to do it and how does it make your Youtube watch page look after applying the effect.
In chrome
Google Chrome has many extensions to do this, I use this simple extension named "Turn off Lights" for chrome.
You can get this extension for your Chrome for here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...jdn?hl=en.
Open the link and click on "Add to chrome"

Now you can see a light bulb in the corner of you r browsers's adrress bar at right side.
In Mozilla Firefox
Well the procedure is same as that of the Chrome, You just gotta install a suitable extension for your browser and it will provide you a light switch for the Youtube video that you can use to turn the lights off on while watching a Youtubue video online.
Here you can find the same add-on for Firefox that I mentioned above for Chrome:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox...he-lights/
ENJOY
