That is why the Turn Off the Lights Browser extension can solve this issue for you and also for other major websites. When you enable the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikipedia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia Night Mode<\/a> from the Options page, you can tweak it to your own personal style. So you have a comfortable experience for your eyes. And easy to read the web page at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is not only for the Wikipedia website, but for all websites you want to see the Dark Mode version. Even if a website does have a Dark Mode version, with the Turn Off the Lights browser extension, you can customise the color to your favorite dark color. On the website, built in dark mode, you can not do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-1024x514.png\" alt=\"Wikipedia Night Mode enabled with the free Turn Off the Lights browser extension\" class=\"wp-image-4899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-768x386.png 768w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-1536x771.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-2048x1028.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-60x30.png 60w, https:\/\/www.turnoffthelights.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wikipedia-Night-Mode-with-turn-off-the-lights-browser-extension-150x75.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wikipedia Night Mode enabled with the free Turn Off the Lights browser extension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-solution-to-activate-wikipedia-night-mode\">The solution to activate Wikipedia Night Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simple and easy way to get a Night Mode on all websites (included Wikipedia) is to install a browser extension in your favorite web browser.
