The United States Geological Survey (USGS) website is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals seeking information on geology, natural resources, and natural hazards. Given the extensive content on the platform, users often spend prolonged periods searching and analyzing data. Night Eye's dark mode can significantly improve the user experience on USGS by transforming the default white background into a calming black. This guide will walk you through enabling the USGS dark mode using Night Eye and discuss its benefits.
Understanding Night Eye
Night Eye is a browser extension that uses a proprietary algorithm to create visually appealing dark themes for various websites, including USGS. Unlike some dark mode extensions that merely invert colors, Night Eye offers a comprehensive dark mode that reduces glare and filters out bright blue light, protecting your eyes from strain and discomfort.
Furthermore, Night Eye helps minimize exposure to blue light, which can interfere with your natural sleep patterns. With its OS color integration, Night Eye allows you to customize dark themes on websites like USGS by adjusting contrast, brightness, and other settings to your preference. The extension is compatible with popular web browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi.
