Why Turn Off the Lights
The Most Complete Google Dark Mode Solution Available
People searching for Google dark mode want Google Search and all Google apps to display in dark. While Google offers dark modes in some apps, coverage is inconsistent across its many services. Turn Off the Lights unifies all of them.
Dark Mode for Google Search
Google Search's dark mode is available in some regions and browser configurations, but it is not universally available and can be inconsistent. Turn Off the Lights applies a reliable, consistent Night Mode to Google Search regardless of your location, browser, or whether you are signed in.
Dark Mode Across All Google Services
Turn Off the Lights applies the same dark theme consistently to every Google property: Google Search, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Play, and more — all with the same colors you configure once.
OLED True-Black for Google Pages
Google's white pages are notorious for eye strain on bright OLED displays. Turn Off the Lights supports true #000000 black mode — setting Google's white backgrounds to pure black so OLED pixels turn completely off, maximizing battery life on laptops and mobile devices.
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.
