In addition to f.lux, I also use the Dark Reader Chrome extension[1], which dynamically generates dark themes for every page you visit. It seems to make a bigger difference than using f.lux.

While I agree that f.lux helps in the night, I'd guess that the impact caused by f.lux to prevent the effect mentioned in the article is pretty minimal. (Obviously, I have no citations or references; just a wild guess.)
- verta 8y agoDef'ly a great relief for my eye strain - using it during the day too and keeping on by default. One annoyance is that Chrome needs to let the address bar be darkened as well as it stands out like a neon tube when Dark Reader is on.
- m_ke 8y agoI just use a dark chrome theme with it to get around that issue.
- kakuri 8y agoThanks for sharing! I did not know about this. I use Stylus and dark themes for many sites, but this will be great for random sites. https://add0n.com/stylus.html https://add0n.com/stylus.html
