Samsung Internet Extension with support for Manifest V3

Before its first release in December 2022, the extension supported Manifest V2, as there was no clear support for Manifest V3 on Samsung Internet at the time. However, starting in April 2026, Samsung began allowing the distribution of Manifest V3 extensions. This means you can now benefit from improvements in privacy, performance, and security offered by Manifest V3 technology.

Turn Off the Lights is also the only browser extension that is completely free and Open-Source. As the developer of Turn Off the Lights, Stefan Van Damme (Belgium), explains:

I believe this tool should be available to everyone at no cost to deliver the best video and web experience in any web browser.

All source code is centralized in one place on GitHub. The Turn Off the Lights extensions for all supported browsers, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Naver Whale, Yandex, and Samsung Internet, are available in a single repository:
