Works fine, but once activated you're unable to scroll on the webpage unless you deactivate it

Hi Timileyin Akinrinade, Sorry you have had this bad experience. And that is why you rated 2 stars for you can not click through the dark layer. Fortunately, there is already a solution to maintain the dark layer until you click again on the gray lamp button. You can find a tutorial on this in the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWYVktAvLeo Please if you have any further questions, do not use this review as a support forum. You can contact us at https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support We are happy to help you. Thanks,

The extension was recommended to me as a dark mode for GDrive. But what good is a dark mode if it covers the page and switches off as soon as you click on something. Quite useless.

Hi Florian Gottwlad, Sorry you have had this bad experience and rate 1 star. if you are looking for the Night Mode feature, that is default disabled for new users. But you can enable it in the Turn Off the Lights Options page -> Night Mode. See this YouTube tutorial video (is also in that help page article). https://youtu.be/9Zqhez7FVNw If you read the Welcome Guide (which is the first tab that shows up when you install the Turn Off the Lights Chrome extension), this animated guide explains the basic features, including how and where to enable Night Mode. Please if you have any further questions, do not use this review as a support forum. You can contact us at https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support We are happy to help you. Thanks,

Useless. When i click on the extension it just adds an overlay of translucent div. You can't read anything unless you adjust the brightness. On click the layer goes away. It doesnt even work on PDFs.

Hi Toushif Haque, You rated 1 star. Sorry you have had this bad experience. Everything is customizable to your style. See in the Turn Off the Lights Options page -> Advanced Options tab. And see for "Mouse" topic and enable the radio button "Enable clicking hyperlinks when the screen is darkened". With this option enabled, you can keep the dark layer unless you click again on the gray lamp button. if you are looking for the Night Mode feature, that is default disabled for new users. But you can enable it in the Turn Off the Lights Options page -> Night Mode. See this YouTube tutorial video (is also in that help page article). https://youtu.be/9Zqhez7FVNw If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us at https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support We are happy to help you.
