Ego Dimmer

Some HDR images shout. Ego Dimmer turns them down. Ego Dimmer keeps bright HDR images, video, and canvases from overpowering the rest of your screen. It uses Chrome’s built-in HDR controls to limit extra brightness without hiding media or changing ordinary SDR content. Open the popup on any website and flip one switch. Choose Full SDR to bring HDR media back to normal screen brightness, or Gentle to keep a little of its glow. LinkedIn, X, and Twitter are ready from the moment you install. You can enable Ego Dimmer on any other website when you need it. Chrome requests access only when you add a new site. Private by design: • No analytics or tracking • No ads or accounts • No remote code • No image inspection, uploading, or proxying • No developer-operated servers Your intensity and enabled websites are stored with Chrome Sync. Ego Dimmer is intentionally small and open source. There is no framework, bundler, minification, or runtime dependency; the public source is the code Chrome runs: https://github.com/sanketsaurav/ego-dimmer Ego Dimmer requires Chrome 136 or newer for HDR limiting. Ordinary SDR media is unaffected.
