Screen Color Temperature for Firefox Description
Procrastination and eyestrain are two of the main issues caused by browsing the web for ours on end, and while the former can only be overcome with the help of your own will, the latter’s effects can be minimized by resorting to software solutions.
One such tool is Screen Color Temperature for Firefox, which is, as its name suggests, a browser extension that can adjust the light you are prompted with whenever you are visiting your favorite websites.
Firefox addon letting you combine the colors your browser prompts you with
Once you have it installed on your computer, all that’s left to do is click its icon in the toolbar and fine-tune the four slider bars associated with different colors and transparency levels. To be more specific, you can adjust the levels of red, green, and blue, as well as their opacity.
By choosing warm colors, your eyes will be more comfortable when looking at the screen, especially during nighttime, when the light coming from the desktop is recommended to be reduced in order to prevent high contrasts that could damage your sight in the long run.
Enables you to add websites to a whitelist
Once you have found the ideal settings, the Firefox addon automatically applies the changes to the websites you are visiting, but it also lets you cancel them altogether, with the possibility of reverting to them whenever you see fit.
By default, the app extends these modifications to all the pages you are browsing, but you also have the option to whitelist specific sites in case you want to inspect them more thoroughly and see accurate colors.
As for Screen Color Temperature’s settings section, you need to know that it is where you need to go in order to enable or disable hotkeys and thus be in control of when you want the app to be running or not as well as add or remove the active tab to or from your whitelist.
Handy browser extension that can reduce eyestrain
All in all, Screen Color Temperature for Firefox is a fun browser extension ensuring that the colors you are seeing while navigating the Internet are hand-picked and that eyestrain is not among the repercussions brought about by long online sessions.
