While the core experience of dimming the web around your videos remains the same, this beta is an important step toward the next generation of Turn Off the Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extension is still under active development, and your feedback plays a vital role in shaping the final release. Whether you discover a bug, notice something that feels different, or have an idea for a new feature, I would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beta version is available for everyone using <strong>Google Chrome<\/strong>, whether you are on <strong>Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, or even Aluminium OS (Googlebooks)<\/strong>. Simply install it from the Chrome Web Store and start using it. Try your favorite video websites, explore the settings, and see how it performs in your regular workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No piece of feedback is too small. Sometimes it is the little details that make the biggest difference. If you notice a visual issue, an unexpected behavior, a missing feature, or even something that could be made more intuitive, please let me know. Every comment helps improve the extension for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"share-feedback\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building great software is an ongoing journey, and the Turn Off the Lights community has always been an important part of that process.

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing to improve the experience together. Install the beta, give it a try, and let your feedback be heard. Every suggestion, big or small, helps make Turn Off the Lights even better.
