Favorite Firefox Extensions

Firefox is a very extensible browser - through a combinations of addons and userscripts you can make it behave just about any way you want. The best part is, they're all free. Here are some of my favorites.

Note: if you have an Android device, check out my post about Firefox for Android's new extended support for addons!

Note: if you have an Apple device, check out my favorite Safari extensions here!

Last updated Feb 2025 (updated list of languages supported for native, local translation by Firefox).

LibraryExtension

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

uBlock Origin

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

This is the first addon I install on any new Firefox browser. It's an adblocker, but at its core it can remove pretty much any HTML element from a website, and it comes with pre-configured lists for removing everything from ads to cookie banners to those annoying popups that ask you to sign up for email newsletters.

Tab Session Manager

Have you ever accidentally lost all your open browser tabs due to a computer update, or even just accidentally closing Firefox? With this addon you no longer have to worry about that - it automatically saves your open tabs and windows every time the browser closes, and autosaves a restore point of tabs every few minutes in case the browser crashes unexpectedly. Opening all your previous tabs and windows is a one-click deal.

Sauron

Ever wished your favorite website had a dark mode? With Sauron, now it can! Sauron attempts to intelligently figure out how to edit the color scheme of the web page (including text) to make it dark-mode friendly. It preserves the original color of images, but dims them so that they don't blind you. You can disable image dimming or dark mode on a site by site basis too. It's not perfect since it is making guesses about which colors to change, but it goes a long way toward making the internet an enjoyable place for me.

Bypass Paywalls Clean

This addon removes paywalls from hundreds of news websites around the world or adds links to open the article in a wrapper that provides the article text (like the Internet Archive etc.)

Auto Tab Discard

Ever wanted to keep a tab open for later use, but you notice the browser getting slower and slower the more tabs you have open? Auto Tab Discard will automatically "hibernate" tabs that you haven't used in a while so that they use less resources on your computer. It's smart enough not to hibernate pages that are playing media (like YouTube) or that have forms you haven't submitted yet (like job applications). You can customize how fast it puts tabs to sleep too and exclude certain websites from hibernating at all.

Video DownloadHelper

This addon can download streaming videos from most modern (HTML5) websites, and even finds soft subtitles that accompany the stream and downloads those too. Just browse to the webpage that has the video on it, click the icon in the Firefox toolbar, and select the video you want to download and click "Quick Download". For YouTube I would recommend using a YT downloader website (like KeepVid) to download the video directly, but Video DownloadHelper really shines for websites that aren't popular enough to have dedicated downloader websites like that. I've used it download videos from a Japanese film festival streaming portal, news websites, etc.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

This addon allows you to blacklist websites and completely remove them from Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo search results. Don't want to see image search results from AI websites? Blacklist them. Searching for tech support advice and getting frustrated by all the auto-generated junk websites that stuff themselves full of SEO terms to jump to the top of the search results without actually providing any information at all? Blacklist them so they don't come up in your next search. Conversely, you can also whitelist websites that you know and trust so that if they ever come up in future search results, they'll be highlighted with a color of your choosing for visibility.

TWP - Translate Web Pages

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Does what it says on the tin: auto-detects a website's language and provides a button that can translate it to a language of your choosing. You can also just select individual text on the page and translate just that. Note that this sends whatever text you translate to the servers of your selected translation service (Google, Bing, Yandex, or DeepL), so keep in mind the privacy implications if you don't want your IP address associated with having read that text.

Edit: As of version 118, Firefox now has the ability to translate text locally on your computer, without needing to send it to a cloud service. You can enable this in Settings -> Translation -> Install languages for offline translation. Note that at this time (Feb 2025), 31 languages are supported - Russian, Korean, Chinese (simplified), and Japanese were recently added. More info here.

UnTrap for YouTube

(compatible with Firefox for Android and they have a Safari for iOS extension too)

This addon lets you tweak the YouTube interface and hide anything you don't want to see. For instance, I hide all the "recommended" videos that come up when you search YT now. They have nothing to do with your search, so they're essentially just ads YT puts in your search results. I also hide Explore, Trending, More from YouTube, and Shorts sections, but you can customize it to fit your preferences.

Note: depending on the particular set of tweaks you want to make to YouTube, you may prefer to use YouTube Search Fixer instead. User preference.

Indie Wiki Buddy

I loathe Fandom.com wiki sites - they are cluttered and filled with ads and autoplaying videos that follow you down the page as you scroll. The organization is also hostile - if a community tries to leave their platform and bring their content to a new wiki hoster, Fandom bans them from the platform and reverts all their deletions/changes. Indie Wiki Buddy attempts to find an independent alternative for the wiki you're trying to browse and automatically redirects you to it, and if one doesn't exist, it will redirect you to a proxy site like antifandom or breezewiki that shows the Fandom content but removes all ads/videos/background images so you can actually, you know. READ it.

Cookie Auto Delete

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Websites store "cookies" - little text files with info about you - on your computer as you browse so they can track you as you browse the internet. This addon automatically deletes cookies from a website a short while after you close the last tab you had open for that site. You can customize how long it waits before clearing cookies too. Note that this can sign you out of many websites, so you can whitelist any site you don't want cookies cleared for.

ShopSuey - Get Rid of Ads on Amazon and Ebay

Removes the ads/recommended products that clutter up Amazon and Ebay search results and product pages.

LibraryExtension

This fantastic addon recognizes when you are viewing a book on many popular websites and can automatically check whether that book is available in any of the library systems or subscription services you have access to, including how many copies your library(ies) have and how many are currently checked out. The best part is it shows the availability for physical books, ebooks, AND audiobooks at supported libraries. The extension currently supports libraries in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, but it also supports some global repositories like the Internet Archive and subscription services like NLS Bard for the blind and print disabled, Kobo Plus, Libro.fm, Anyplay.fm, Bookmate, and Everand. Great extension for people trying to support their local library and also save money.

Filtering+ for Tumblr

This addon lets you add tags or phrases to your tumblr tag filters with two clicks, without leaving the dashboard. I've been asking Tumblr for this tag filtering behavior on their mobile apps (i.e. press and hold a tag to get a filter option) for at least a year now in asks and surveys, without ever stopping to see if someone had already implemented this on desktop. More fool me. This addon is from the author of XKit Rewritten. Note that the right-click tag filtering only works on the dashboard; it will not appear if you are on someone's blog. Right-clicking selected text to filter the phrase works everywhere based on my testing.

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

This addon does its best to re-enable the normal right-click context menu and copy/paste actions on pages that try to disable them. If you run into a site that messes with either of those, select this addon and check "Enable Copy," then try again. If that doesn't work, check "Absolute mode." It doesn't work everywhere, but I find it very helpful.

Apple launches the iPhone 16e, a cheaper new version of the iPhone 16

By Lisa Eadicicco, CNN

4 minute read

Updated 11:55 AM EST, Wed February 19, 2025

People walk by an Apple store at the Westfield UTC shopping center on January 31, 2025 in San Diego, California.Kevin Carter/Getty Images North America/Getty Images CNN  — 

Apple on Wednesday announced a cheaper new version of the iPhone 16 called the iPhone 16e, signaling a renewed push into the budget smartphone market for the tech giant. It’s also the first iPhone with a cellular modem designed by Apple, and the cheapest iPhone Apple currently sells that supports Apple Intelligence.

The iPhone 16e costs $599 and launches on February 28.

Adding Apple Intelligence on a cheaper iPhone could be crucial for putting the company’s AI tools in the hands of more consumers. Apple has faced increased competition from Google and Samsung in recent years, both in the budget smartphone market and in the AI space. Google’s cheaper Pixel A-series of phones have been well received, for example, and both Google and Samsung have prioritized updating Android devices with new AI features over the last year.

The launch also marks a shift away from the iPhone SE, the budget iPhone line Apple debuted in 2016 and last updated in 2022. The iPhone SE made up only a sliver of Apple’s iPhone market share, according to research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, which reports it accounted for just 5% of US iPhone sales as of December 2024.

The iPhone 16e, despite being more expensive than the SE, could be more appealing to those who want a device that feels more like Apple’s more recent phones. The iPhone SE was the last iPhone with a traditional home button and fingerprint sensor on the front, a longtime staple that Apple began shifting away from with the iPhone X in 2017.

Apple announced the iPhone 16e on February 19.Apple

What the iPhone 16e can do

Apple claims the new 5G modem in the iPhone 16e is the “most power-efficient modem ever on an iPhone.” The new modem is arriving more than five years after Apple acquired the majority of troubled chipmaker Intel’s smartphone modem business in 2019. Using its own modems makes Apple less reliant on partners and suppliers, giving it more control over product development and launch timing.

The iPhone 16e marks a long-awaited overhaul to Apple’s cheaper iPhone. The $429 iPhone SE, while less expensive, looked like the seven-year-old iPhone 8 and lacked features found on most new phones, such as face unlock and a nearly borderless screen. After Wednesday’s announcement, the iPhone SE is no longer available on Apple’s online store.

Unlike the iPhone SE, the iPhone 16e has a lot in common with the iPhone 16, bringing it up to speed with Apple’s current lineup. Both phones have a 6.1-inch screen, Face ID, a 48-megapixel camera and the Action button for programming shortcuts. However, the iPhone 16e is cheaper and it lacks a dedicated second camera for capturing wider shots and the Camera Control button for quickly accessing the camera.

It’s powered by the same processor as the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup, enabling it to run Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence, which until now has only been available on the iPhone 16 family, 2023’s iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and certain iPads and Macs, is a blanket term that refers to a handful of AI-powered tools – such as the ability to generate emojis and images with a prompt, summarize notifications, and remove objects from photos as well as ChatGPT integration with Siri.

The popularity of ChatGPT following its late 2022 release sent a shockwave through the tech industry, prompting companies such as Microsoft, Google and Samsung to incorporate generative AI into their products.

But Apple was largely considered to be a latecomer to consumer-facing artificial intelligence. Like many tech companies, Apple has long used AI to power backend features, like camera modes, but didn’t begin rolling out Apple Intelligence until last fall. Apple Intelligence’s arrival on a cheaper device like the iPhone 16e signals the company sees AI as being a core part of its products moving forward.

Tech giants have positioned generative AI and chatbots as the next major evolution in how consumers use and interact with technology. Yet it’s unclear whether AI tools like Apple Intelligence will be compelling enough to drive smartphone upgrades, with Apple’s iPhone revenue falling short of Wall Street’s expectations in its fiscal first quarter of 2025.

[weirdstrangeandawful]

I think people need to stop using the ‘AI is bad at [thing]’ as an argument against the lack of regulation. If you actually use a certain type of AI for its intended purpose, you will realise quite quickly that it is usually competent.

AI used to identify objects in photos so that you don’t get bees when you search ‘dog’ is actually quite good at what it does.

AI that corrects your spelling and grammar is actually quite good at what it does when you're not drunk off your tits and sending actual gibberish

AI that retrieves information on the internet so you can search ‘what do you call the things on a giraffe’s head?’ and find relevant articles explaining giraffe anatomy even if they don’t contain those words is actually quite good at what it does.

AI that mimics human language structure in text form [yes, like ChatGPT] is actually quite good at what it does. It was never meant to give you information, it was meant to mimic human text.

AI that summarises the content of internet search results [yes, like Gemini] is actually quite good at what it does.

Yes, this is about the ‘is it 2025’ post. If I search ‘what do you call the things on a giraffe’s head?’, it is able to tell me not only that they are called ossicones but also that sources commonly call them ‘horns’. It is able to look at all the information in its millions of search results, identify what information is most likely to be accurate, what information is most relevant, what information is conflicting, and provide a summary of that.

Let's pretend we are Gemini. We receive a prompt in the form of a question: is it 2025? We plug that into Google's search engine and get about 25 270 000 000 results (that's a 25 billion by the way). We have no idea that this is a 'pick the most recent information' situation and in all honesty it isn't one. We are relying on Google's unstructured search algorithm that, let's remember, is trained on your web activity (this is why we all get different answers). We have two things we can do here depending on the resources at our disposal:

1) If we recognise we are on a mobile with location services enabled and we have access to the system data, we can simply spit that out (on my mobile, it told me the full date (1st June 2025), the year (2025), that it retrieved it from the system, and the first half of my postal code. If I disable chrome's access to my location data, it behaves exactly like the second case).

2) If we do not have access to the system data (eg. laptop browser on incognito mode with all location services disabled), we use our proprietary algorithm and training to identify two sources among relatively conflicting information that agree and that we deem are representative of the best results. One is Wikipedia which states that 2025 is the current year and another is a random and bizarre instagram post about the Gregorian calendar. According to our algorithm, we believe these are most representative (likely because the majority of initial results are in fact social media new years posts), so we declare the year is 2025.

TL;DR Gemini is not meant to answer this sort of question, Google knows this (that's why Gemini doesn't pop up if you ask for the date), and Google probably doesn't care too much because Gemini is good at its actual job. Calling it stupid and useless is not a functional argument because it's simply untrue and this goes for so many AI models. We need to start actually calling them out for the reasons we think they need regulation.

The Future of E-commerce: Trends, Technology, and Transformation

 E-commerce has revolutionized how the world shops, and the pace of this evolution shows no sign of slowing down. In the last two decades, we've gone from slow-loading online catalogs to AI-driven, hyper-personalized shopping experiences available at the tap of a smartphone. As we look toward the future, it becomes clear that e-commerce is not merely a convenient alternative to brick-and-mortar shopping—it’s shaping into an intelligent, immersive, and integrated ecosystem. From augmented reality (AR) to drone deliveries, the coming years will redefine the very fabric of consumerism. Here's a deep dive into the future of e-commerce and the trends that are shaping it.

The Future Of E-commerce In India 

1. AI and Personalization: Smarter Shopping Experiences

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already embedded in e-commerce through chatbots, recommendation engines, and predictive analytics. But in the future, AI will evolve from a helpful tool to a cornerstone of every online retail experience. Imagine an e-commerce platform that not only knows what you like but also predicts what you’ll need before you even realize it.

AI will enable hyper-personalization, tailoring product suggestions, discounts, and marketing messages based on user behavior, browsing patterns, past purchases, and even emotional cues detected from facial recognition or voice tone (in the case of smart devices). This will result in increased customer satisfaction and retention, as shoppers will feel uniquely catered to.

2. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality: Try Before You Buy

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are poised to bridge the gap between physical and digital shopping. AR allows customers to visualize products in their real-world environment—like placing a virtual couch in your living room using your smartphone camera. VR, on the other hand, can offer fully immersive shopping environments that mimic the in-store experience.

Retailers like IKEA, Sephora, and Warby Parker are already using AR to enhance customer confidence and reduce returns. As the technology becomes more mainstream and affordable, smaller businesses will also adopt it, making virtual try-ons and immersive product demos a norm in online shopping.

3. Voice Commerce and Conversational Shopping

With the proliferation of smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Nest, voice commerce is gaining traction. Voice-enabled shopping allows users to search for products, place orders, and track shipments simply by speaking to their devices.

In the near future, voice assistants will become more conversational, capable of understanding complex queries and offering context-aware suggestions. This hands-free, frictionless mode of shopping will particularly appeal to multitaskers and busy households, making it an integral part of the e-commerce landscape.

4. Sustainability and Ethical Commerce

Modern consumers, especially Gen Z and millennials, are increasingly concerned about the ethical and environmental impact of their purchases. E-commerce companies are responding by investing in sustainable practices—like biodegradable packaging, carbon-neutral shipping, and transparent sourcing.

Future e-commerce platforms will likely include filters for “eco-friendly,” “ethically sourced,” or “locally made” products. Brands that can prove their commitment to sustainability through verified practices will enjoy greater loyalty and market share.

Blockchain technology may also play a role in ethical commerce, providing transparent, tamper-proof records of a product’s supply chain and ensuring authenticity for things like organic certifications or fair trade sourcing.

5. Omnichannel Integration: Seamless Shopping Across Platforms

The future of e-commerce isn't limited to websites. It’s increasingly blending across platforms—social media, mobile apps, physical stores, and even smart TVs. This omnichannel approach ensures a unified customer experience, regardless of where or how a person shops.

For instance, a customer may discover a product on Instagram, research it on their laptop, try it in AR on a mobile app, and finally purchase it via voice assistant—all without losing their shopping cart, preferences, or data. The brands that can offer this seamless continuity will lead the way in customer satisfaction.

6. Faster, Smarter Fulfillment and Delivery

Consumer expectations for delivery speed are higher than ever. Thanks to Amazon Prime, two-day or even same-day shipping has become a baseline for convenience. In the future, we’ll see even faster fulfillment through automation, robotics, and drone deliveries.

Warehouses will be run by AI-powered robots capable of picking, packing, and shipping with incredible efficiency. Last-mile delivery, often the most expensive and time-consuming part of logistics, may be handled by autonomous vehicles or drones, especially in urban environments.

Additionally, micro-fulfillment centers located within cities will help brands store popular products closer to their customers, speeding up delivery and reducing environmental impact.

7. Cryptocurrency and New Payment Methods

The future of e-commerce will likely include a broader array of payment methods. Digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay are already mainstream, but cryptocurrency is slowly entering the retail space as well.

As blockchain technology becomes more scalable and secure, crypto payments may offer a decentralized, low-fee, and global payment alternative. Some companies are already accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum for online purchases, and this trend is expected to grow—particularly in cross-border commerce, where traditional currency exchange can be slow and costly.

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options will also continue to evolve, with more flexible financing models being integrated directly into the checkout process.

8. Social Commerce: Shopping Through Social Media

Social media is no longer just a place to discover products—it’s becoming the platform where purchases happen. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest are now equipped with direct shopping features that let users buy products without ever leaving the app.

In the future, influencer-led commerce and live-stream shopping will grow. Influencers can host live product demos with real-time purchasing options, combining entertainment and shopping in a way that resonates with younger audiences. 

9. Artificial Storefronts and Digital Twins

As AI continues to evolve, we may see the rise of AI-generated storefronts, tailored specifically for individual users. Instead of browsing a generic website, users may interact with a dynamically generated storefront based on their tastes, browsing history, and current interests.

Similarly, digital twins—virtual replicas of stores or products—could allow users to explore entire retail environments digitally, perhaps even through VR headsets. This would offer a near-tangible experience from the comfort of home.

10. Globalization and Localization

E-commerce allows businesses to reach global markets, but success often depends on localizing the experience. This includes language, currency, cultural relevance, and even logistics infrastructure.

In the future, smart platforms will be able to localize on-the-fly, adapting everything from product recommendations to advertising tone based on the user's region. At the same time, businesses will benefit from global infrastructure tools that make international shipping, customs compliance, and foreign exchange seamless.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization):

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is structuring your content to show up on search engine websites (Google, Bing, Yahoo). Marketers will try to ‘rank’ a certain word or phrase relevant to their business so their potential customers will find them. This is called organic traffic. It’s essential to know SEO if you want to become a successful digital marketer.

Content Marketing:

Content marketing refers to the creation and promotion of valuable content for the audience. It helps in establishing trust in the audience and attracting new visitors. All the content you see online, whether it’s a blog article or a YouTube video, results from content marketing. Brands can help their prospects by solving their real-life problems through high-quality content.

However, the high initial investment restrains the market’s growth. Moreover, the increasing penetration of voice recognition technology offers significant opportunities for the growth of the global AI in e-commerce market. However, data privacy concerns and a lack of skilled labor pose a challenge to the market's growth.

Key Players:

The key players operating in the global AI in e-commerce market are Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Revolutionizing Personalized Shopping Experiences with AI:

One of the most significant impacts of AI in e-commerce is its ability to revolutionize personalized shopping experiences. Unlike traditional mass marketing approaches, AI uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data, including past purchases, browsing history, demographic details, and real-time customer behavior. This enables retailers to offer highly tailored recommendations and a shopping experience that adjusts dynamically to individual preferences. For example, AI-powered recommendation engines suggest products uniquely suited to each shopper, increasing relevance and encouraging purchases. This level of personalization improves customer satisfaction, loyalty, and conversion rates, making shopping more efficient and enjoyable. Moreover, AI enhances search capabilities by understanding natural language queries and contextual intent, allowing customers to find products more easily through voice or image search.

Enhancing Marketing Strategies through AI-Powered Customer Segmentation:

Another area where AI is instrumental is customer segmentation, which helps businesses refine their marketing strategies. AI analyzes customer data in granular detail to identify distinct segments based on behavior, preferences, and purchasing patterns. By understanding these segments, companies can tailor marketing campaigns that resonate more strongly with each group, optimizing promotional efforts and increasing return on investment. AI-driven segmentation also allows marketers to predict customer lifetime value and churn risk, ensuring targeted engagement strategies that nurture valuable customers. This strategic approach improves overall marketing efficiency by focusing resources where they are most effective.

Future Trends: AI Advancements in E-Commerce Logistics and Supply Chain Management:

Looking ahead, AI promises exciting innovations in e-commerce logistics and supply chain management. Future trends suggest AI will increasingly drive end-to-end automation��from warehouse robotics to intelligent route planning for deliveries. AI-powered systems can dynamically optimize supply chains, responding quickly to disruptions or changing customer demands. For example, machine learning algorithms will forecast logistics constraints before they occur, enabling preemptive action to maintain smooth deliveries. Additionally, AI will facilitate real-time tracking and predictive maintenance, improving efficiency and transparency. The integration of AI in logistics is anticipated to reduce costs, shorten delivery times, and enhance the overall customer fulfillment experience—critical factors for winning shopper loyalty in a competitive market.

It enables deeply personalized customer experiences that go far beyond basic customization. It sharpens marketing strategies through nuanced customer segmentation and drives smarter inventory management via precise demand forecasting. Furthermore, AI’s role in logistics is set to revolutionize how products move from warehouses to customers, ensuring faster, more reliable, and cost-effective deliveries.

Does Dark Mode Affect SEO? Here’s What Google Might Consider in 2025

As the trends of designs change drastically, the dark mode is no longer a developer secret theme but has become a general design convention in websites, apps and operating systems. Dark mode presents a smooth and comfortable interface, whether you are browsing the internet media at night or following your preferred blog with decreased glare. Yet, halfway off the mark in 2025, digital marketers, programmers and SEO specialists are starting to wonder:

"Does dark mode affect SEO?"

At first glance, this may seem like a total aesthetic choice. After all, Google's algorithms crawl for content rather than color— correct? 

 Well, not exactly. With user experience (UX) becoming a critical ranking factor, dark mode may play a subtle yet meaningful role in how your website performs in search.

In this post, we will go deep into how dark mode can overlap with SEO strategies, what 2025 might be like for Google, and the way that you can make informed design decisions while not sacrificing your search engine visibility.

What Exactly is Dark Mode?

Dark mode is a UI visual setting in which light-colored text and icons on a dark background—often black or dark grey—are displayed. Initially used to minimise eye strain and battery consumption on OLED displays, it's today a design convention that makes reading easier and works with contemporary design. 

Google's Shifting Ranking Priorities

Google's ranking system is not fixed—it changes with user behaviour and technology trends. Over the past few years, we've witnessed the introduction of:

Core Web Vitals

Mobile-first indexing

Page Experience signals

AI-powered Search Generative Experiences (SGE)

Today, metrics of user behaviour, such as time-on-site, bounce, and conversion streams, are also important as content.

The Impact of Dark Mode in Search Engine Optimization in 2025

Dark mode itself is not a direct ranking signal (yet), but it influences multiple factors that are.

Improved User Experience (UX)

Google's latest updates focus on UX signals such as page engagement, dwell time and return visits. If your visitors like dark mode and spend more time on your site because of dark mode, it can have a good impact on SEO.

Accessibility and Readability

If dark mode isn't implemented correctly—say, poor contrast or unreadable fonts—it could lead to poor accessibility, increasing bounce rates.

Make sure your dark mode version offers:

High contrast ratios

Consistent typography

Clear calls to action

Mobile Responsiveness

With mobile-first indexing being the norm, having dark mode work flawlessly on smartphones and tablets is highly important.

Use CSS media queries for prefers-color-scheme

Optimize all visuals for both themes

Test on real devices regularly

Less Eye Strain = Longer Sessions

Increased session lengths inform Google that users enjoy your content. A convenient viewing experience—particularly in dim environments—facilitates this behavior.

Technical SEO Considerations for Dark Mode

Let's get techy. Enabling dark mode needs more than a toggle switch.

Important factors to consider:

CSS Media Queries

Use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) for automatic detection of the user's system preference.

Canonical Tags

Prevent both versions (dark and light) from being considered duplicate content by employing correct canonical tags.

JavaScript Rendering

Don't use unnecessary JS in your dark mode script that slows down load time—a penalty factor in Google.

What Google Might Consider in 2025

Google will most likely continue to stay ahead of the trend by focusing on user-centric designs. Although dark mode is not specifically mentioned as a ranking factor, the following are some factors that might matter soon:

Customizable User Interfaces: Whether offering the light and dark themes, it clearly shows flexibility and understanding for the user.

Sustainability Metrics: Sites that enable battery-saving functionality (such as dark mode on OLEDs) can be within green computing trends.

Behavioral Analytics: Google might use user preference metrics to drive personalized search rankings.

Bullet Recap: What to Watch For

User comfort-driven dwell time and bounce rate

Effect on accessibility and visual hierarchy

Correct implementation via semantic HTML and CSS

Speedy loading speeds independent of theme

Best Practices for Dark Mode SEO Strategy

Enabling dark mode isn't merely a matter of reversing the color scheme. Doing it properly is like this:

Employ adaptive design rather than two URLs

Ensure accessibility compliance (WCAG standards)

Preserve schema markup unchanged and consistent

Test for structured data visibility on both themes

AEO Twist: How Dark Mode Relates to Answer Engine Optimisation

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is about organising your content for direct answers, voice search, and featured snippets.

Although dark mode does not have a direct effect on AEO, if your site experiences longer sessions and greater click-throughs, it will boost your likelihood of showing up in zero-click results and voice answers.

Challenges to Avoid

Not everything that goes to dark mode is good for SEO. Watch out for these problems:

Low contrast leading to readability issues

Inconsistent theme coverage throughout the site

Unnecessary use of plain black (#000000), which can lead to pixel bleed on OLEDs

Shrugging off accessibility testing on vision-impaired users

Conclusion: Don't Let Design Hurt Your Visibility

UX-focused SEO is standard in 2025—not the exception. Dark mode might not be an official ranking signal, but its influence on user interaction, accessibility, and session duration makes it an effective design asset with indirect SEO value.

If you want to introduce or overhaul your dark mode plan, do it intelligently—match design to SEO best practice and keep performance top priority.

At Matebiz, we are aware of the intricacies of contemporary web development and SEO. Our professionals design responsive, high-performance websites that harmonise form and function, such as elegant dark mode experiences optimised for forward-looking SEO success.

The Ultimate Guide to Background Blur in Photos – Free and Effective Methods

Background blur, or the bokeh effect, is one of the most powerful ways to highlight your subject and create a sense of depth and professionalism in your images. In this comprehensive guide, we focus on practical, free methods to achieve beautiful background blur—whether you're using a DSLR camera or a smartphone.

📸 The Power of Background Blur in Photography

Blurring the background isn't just an aesthetic trick. It draws attention directly to the subject, removes distracting elements, and results in a visually controlled image. Whether you're a hobbyist or professional, background blur is essential in portrait, nature, and product photography.

🔧 DIY Bokeh Effect – Simple and Creative

Paper Filter Method – Creative Results with Minimal Tools

You can shape your bokeh creatively with a simple DIY trick. Here’s what you’ll need:

A fast lens (e.g., f/1.8)

Black paper

Scissors or a craft knife

Your lens cap for tracing

Tape

Step-by-step instructions:

Trace a circle using your lens cap onto the paper.

Cut out the circle and make a 15–20 mm shape in the center (e.g., star, heart, triangle).

Tape the cutout to the front of your lens.

Use the widest aperture available (e.g., f/1.4–f/2.0).

Focus on a nearby subject and ensure there are small light sources in the background (like string lights or street lamps).

🎯 Tip: Simple shapes work best. Complex designs often don’t render clearly in the blur.

📱 Smartphone Blur – Best Free Apps for Bokeh

If you don't have a DSLR, modern smartphones and editing apps make it easy to add background blur. Here are some top free apps: AppPlatformFeaturesPriceSnapseedAndroid / iOSSelective blur, portrait enhancementFreeFocosiOSDepth map editing, AI blurFree (some paid features)Lightroom MobileAndroid / iOSSelective editing, manual blurFree (Adobe login required)

💡 Ideal Camera Settings for Strong Background Blur

Recommended Settings for DSLR or Mirrorless Cameras:

Aperture: Use the widest possible (e.g., f/1.4–f/2.8)

Focal length: Longer lenses (e.g., 85 mm) intensify blur

Focusing distance: The closer the subject, the stronger the blur

Background distance: More space between subject and background = smoother bokeh

🔍 Quick formula: Blur intensity = (Focal length × Aperture size) / Distance to background

🎨 Customize Your Bokeh – Let Your Imagination Lead

Want to make your background lights look like hearts, stars, or even musical notes? The paper cutout method enables unique and creative effects:

Star: Great for vibrant night shots

Heart: Perfect for romantic portraits

Snowflake: Ideal for winter-themed shoots

Letters: Create initials or logos for branding

🌙 Best Time and Conditions for Shooting Bokeh

The best bokeh comes at night or during low light, where background lights can pop:

Fairy lights or lanterns

Urban neon or ad lights

Blue hour after sunset

The key is minimal ambient light—this allows background lights to appear more defined and emphasizes the bokeh shape.

🎓 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I achieve bokeh with a smartphone without apps?

Yes, most modern smartphones have a portrait mode that uses AI and depth sensing to blur the background. While it may not match DSLR quality, flagship models (like iPhones or Google Pixel phones) produce impressive results.

Why isn’t my custom shape showing clearly?

The most common reason is a small aperture (e.g., f/5.6 or f/8). You need a large aperture (f/1.4–f/2.0) for the cutout shape to appear sharply.

Can I use film or plastic instead of paper?

Yes. Opaque black plastic or light-blocking film can work well and be more durable—as long as it covers the lens and blocks unwanted light.

🏁 Conclusion: Professional Background Blur Without Expensive Gear

We believe stunning photography doesn't require a huge budget. With the right setup, a little creativity, and basic materials, you can achieve beautiful background blur—even with free apps or a homemade lens filter. Whether you’re shooting portraits, plants, or nighttime streets, adding depth through bokeh instantly elevates your images.

Focus on creativity, use light wisely – and let your photos shine with a smooth blur.
