Ever Been Flash Banged by YouTube?

Ever Been Flash Banged by YouTube?

You’re watching YouTube late at night, maybe a coding tutorial, maybe a podcast, maybe just a chill video before bed.

Everything’s fine… until suddenly FLASH BANG! The video cuts to a full-white slide, a blank notepad, or a blindingly bright background.

Even with dark mode on, you can’t escape it. Your eyes are fried!

That’s exactly why I built YTDimmer

What is YTDimmer?

YTDimmer is a Chrome extension that saves you from unexpected flash bangs in videos.

✅ It automatically dims sudden bright scenes.

✅ It keeps your screen eye-friendly, day or night.

✅ It works quietly in the background so no clicks needed.

Think of it as eye armor for night owls, coders, and binge-watchers.

And the best part? It’s completely open-source.

Why I Made It

As a night coder, YouTube is always running in the background. But every time a tutorial flipped to a white screen, I got flash banged. After too many late-night eye stings, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Try It Out 

No more sudden eye strain. No more flash bangs.

Stop the flash bangs 👇
