Video Dimming

About

Video Dimming transforms your browser into a personal cinema by darkening everything around any HTML5 video player. Whether you watch YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Vimeo, or any other site, this extension dims the entire page and highlights only the video, helping you watch with zero distractions.

Cinema Mode is fully dynamic. The extension automatically detects video elements, adds a smooth dark overlay to the rest of the page, and creates a bright, clean cutout around the video. If the player changes size, goes fullscreen, switches to mini-player, or if you scroll the page, the lighting adjusts instantly so your focus stays exactly where it should be.

You can toggle Cinema Mode on or off at any time directly from the extension popup. Your preference is saved automatically using chrome.storage, so the extension always behaves the way you want. The system is built with performance in mind and uses lightweight observers to keep everything fast and seamless.

Perfect for late-night viewing, study videos, movies, livestreams, and any moment when you want a distraction-free experience.
