The tools that come in computers and mobile phones are increasingly new. Most of them, in recent years, are aimed at improving or monitoring the health of their users.
Technology must go hand in hand with health
One of the tools that go hand in hand with the health of its users have been smart watches or bracelets. Devices that can be linked to the mobile phone and that also have the necessary applications for you to provide all the information about your health condition.
A good example of this is the smart watch of the Xiaomi company, the Mi Band, with an ability to record the heart rate and the sports activities you do.
Taking care of your vision
Within all these considerations for their users, and having knowledge of the hours that a person can spend in front of a computer or using their phone, the developers have implemented some tools to notify if it is time to give your eyes a break or some other alternative to reduce how forced your vision may be.
First measures
One of the tools adopted, mainly by computers, was the blue filter light. Monitors for desktop or laptop computers come with more and more power and resolution.
Later, this filter was incorporated into mobile phones to take care of the impact of the brightness and resolution of the screens on the eyes.
What is the blue light filter for?
Blue light is understood to be those electromagnetic particles that travel in waves, each wavelength is visualized as a different color. This filter eliminates a large part of this type of light emitted by the screens.
Alternative: Dark mode
Another measure incorporated by computers and mobile phones, alternative to the blue light filter, is the dark mode.
It not only has a positive impact on your eyesight, but also on your phone or computer, as the dark interface of your phone, applications and web pages have a lower demand on the battery.
Activate dark mode in your browsers and web pages
As much as computers may have options to activate dark mode, this does not mean that browsers are affected by it, keeping the traditional mode.
In this opportunity, you will learn how to activate the dark mode on all web pages through different browsers.
Dark mode in Google Chrome
In order to start enjoying the dark mode option in your Google Chrome browser, you must enter the browser’s configuration panel and follow these instructions:
- Locate and enter the topic section.
- Choose the dark theme.
- This option will automatically be applied to all the web pages you visit through this browser.
In this way, you will activate the dark mode for the browser interface, without having a major impact on the web pages you visit. To force dark mode on any website, do the following:
- On the taskbar, type Chrome: // flags
- In the window that will open next, select Force Dark Mode for Web Contents
- Check the box that will enable this feature.
Enable dark mode from Mozilla Firefox
This is another of the most used browsers in the world, and the way you can activate the dark mode is just as simple. It only takes two minutes of your time to do the following:
- Type in the navigation bar about: config
- You will have a search bar, in which you will place ui.systemUsesDarkTheme

Can Opera activate this feature?
The application of this browser on Android phones was already available. You just have to press and hold on the Opera icon and an options window will be displayed in which you can activate the dark mode.
