About NoDim Video
Have you ever been watching an amazing or super dark scene, only to accidentally bump your mouse and have the screen go even darker because of the player controls?
This extension fixes exactly that annoyance. Don't Darken My Video completely removes the shadows, dark overlays, and black gradients that web players apply over the video when the controls are active. You can pause, skip ahead, or turn up the volume without losing visibility or brightness anywhere in the scene.
Key Features:
Install and forget: No complicated menus or buttons to configure. Just install it and it will work silently in the background.
Smart design: The native controls (play, pause, volume) still work perfectly and disappear when they should; the only thing we remove is that annoying background shadow.
Multi-platform support: Works seamlessly on Apple TV+, Netflix, Claro Video, YouTube, and most standard web video players (HTML5).
Ultra-lightweight: Pure CSS injection that won't slow down your browser or drain extra battery.

I believe good software should be free and accessible to everyone. But I also know that, as developers, we have bills to pay. If you find my work useful and would like to support me, a coffee is always welcome! ☕
