Everything You Need for the Best Facebook Dark Mode
Turn Off the Lights is not just a simple facebook dark mode. It is a complete browser enhancement built to give you full control over how every website looks in the dark.
Consistent Facebook Dark Theme
Apply a uniform dark theme to Facebook.com with your chosen colors — not just Facebook's fixed grey-blue default.
Auto-Schedule Day/Night Switch
Set sunrise/sunset switching or custom hours. Facebook dark mode turns on and off automatically without any manual intervention.
One Theme for All Websites
The same dark theme applies to every website — Facebook, Instagram Web, Messenger, YouTube, Reddit, and beyond.
Choose Your Own Dark Colors
Pick background, text, link, button, and border colors independently. True black for OLED or warm dark for reading comfort.
Smart Detection
Turn Off the Lights detects when Facebook has already applied its own dark mode and can skip double-layering automatically.
No Facebook Data Access
The extension applies visual changes only. It does not read, store, or transmit any Facebook content or account data.

Why Turn Off the Lights
The Most Complete Facebook Dark Mode Solution Available
While Facebook does offer a built-in dark mode, many users searching for Facebook dark mode want more control — custom colors, automatic scheduling, and a consistent dark experience that extends beyond Facebook to every other website.
Facebook Dark Mode with Custom Colors
Facebook's built-in dark mode uses a fixed grey-blue color scheme. Turn Off the Lights lets you choose your own background color — pure black for OLED, warm dark for eye comfort, or any shade you prefer. Apply the same custom theme consistently across Facebook and all other sites.
Automatic Facebook Dark Mode Scheduling
Turn Off the Lights can activate Facebook dark mode automatically at sunset and restore it at sunrise — or at any custom times you set. Facebook's native dark mode requires manual toggling via the account menu every time. With Turn Off the Lights, switching is fully automatic.
One Extension, Dark Mode Everywhere
Facebook is just one website. Turn Off the Lights applies the same Night Mode theme to every website you visit — Messenger, Instagram Web, WhatsApp Web, YouTube, Reddit, Wikipedia, and any other site — giving you a unified dark experience across your entire browser.
Open Source, Private, and Free — Always
Turn Off the Lights collects no personal data, displays no advertising, and charges nothing. The extension is fully open-source under the GNU General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2), with its complete source code available on GitHub for anyone to inspect. It has been in continuous development since 2009 and remains one of the most trusted browser extensions available, with millions of active users across all major browsers. Stefan Van Damme is the solo developer and has maintained the extension with monthly updates for over 15 years.
