Extensions. Where would our browsers be without ’em? Like a sky without stars. A forest without trees. A sea without — OK, you get the idea.

What follows is a rundown of extensions I’ve installed on my browser that make my life a whole hell of a lot easier. So without further ado, here are 10 browser extensions I can’t live without.

Dark Reader

Dark Reader is an eye-care extension that allows you to easily adjust how a website is displayed in order to match your comfort levels and reduce eye strain. The extension comes preconfigured with a dark and a light theme but also allows for more fine-grained control of the display settings — e.g., brightness and contrast.

Aside from the option to turn off the extension globally, you also have the ability to disable it for certain websites — as well as to configure website-specific settings.

Seeing as most of us spend a lot of our time staring at screens, this extension offers a much-needed alternative to simply adjusting the screen’s brightness.

Cost: Free
