Just three days ago -and after months of delays generating expectations-, the Redmonds decided to launch the first preview version of Microsoft Edge that includes support for extensions. Of course, the browser was released with a very small number of them, a figure that will gradually expanding and that can now begin to be tested with build 14291 within the Insider program.
A context in which you have just landed Turn Off the Lights, a utility that shows the technology giant's commitment to these late plugins and an open source tool that, presumably, will gradually improve thanks to the contribution of different developers in the community, something intrinsic to this kind of initiative.But what exactly does it consist of? What benefits does it offer us?
Turn Off the Lights
In this way, Turn Off the Lights and as its name indicates (turns off the lights), allows us to darken the rest of the screen when we are watching a video on a web page. Something that will give us the opportunity to enjoy a higher quality, as well as to observe with greater precision all the details of the content.
Specifically what it does is blur on a black background everything that exceeds the frame of the player in question, attenuating the rest of the elements that we do not want to attract our attention. A feature that, according to its creators, will allow you to see the material "as if you were in the cinema." It also has keyboard shortcuts that speed up its use and allow you to customize different options.
You'll find it easily through GitHub, where installing it is quick and easy.The extension also works with Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Y-Browser, and Maxthon; an enviable compatibility that will delight YouTube regulars, among others. For more information you can consult their official website. And you, what do you think the next extensions will be?
