I’ve found the best solution to eye strain is just turning down my screen brightness. It’s solved all my problems, and I can stare at a screen as long as I need

  Yes, this is a huge issue. The screen brightness should be close to the ambient brightness. I test by looking around randomly a bit, keeping my screen in my peripheral vision. If it “pops” brightly in my peripheral vision, I know it’s too bright. Or I adjust the other way; if I’m planning use a screen for a while in a dark room, I’ll turn on some lights to bring up the ambient level a bit.

  Or using dark mode. There are chrome extensions that force dark mode on every page. I personally can't last 1 minute on a white screen, and bringing brightness too low isn't without its issues.
