This is wrong. Unless you're using an OLED screen (pretty unlikely), black usually requires more energy to display.
Also, there's no way to determine screen technology through normal JavaScript (without plugins/addons), so changing it to make the script only apply to OLED screens would be infeasible.
- alnayyir 16y agoWell intentioned, but uninformed. Some people are way too enthusiastic about things they don't totally grasp. Cf. carbon expenditure, recycling (some forms), hybrid automotives, rails (lot of fakers in the 'community'), etc. Edit: I would like to add however, that black does save energy on CRTs. But again, detection of screen technology is a fail here and the vast majority of users are using LCDs. Not worth the potential hassle. "Why can't I watch the whole video without the screen going black?!"
