The browser has its own brightness settings. Just hit menu while the browser is open and you'll see it.

Thanks! Missed that option ha.

Just because it has its own brightness setting, doesn't mean I want to use it. I'd much rather have the option to have an independent browser brightness than be forced to manage two brightness levels now.
I have yet to find a way to turn it off though... besides just getting a new browser.

You say you'd much rather have an independent browser brightness, when that is exactly what you have already. I think what you want is one consolidated brightness for the entire phone.

Chrome-browser brighter than Internet-browser

Why are some apps brighter than others?
When i set the brightness completely down I noticed it with chrome and internet browser but i think other apps act equal.

The bright is changing automatically, i believe.

But the "auto" checkbox is unchecked.
Is this something i have to live with or are there settings or apps wich could fix it?

have you tried other web browsers?

There is an app "screen filter" from play store. To reduce the screen brightness. Ya. Chrome is a lot brighter. it doesn't even have the inverted mode that stock browser has! (Google must be crazy!)

Check and see if you have the setting to change brightness depending on image content enabled or not (different than auto brightness).
I like the Screen Filter app. I even use a similar thing on my desktop. Bah humbug to too-bright screens.

The screen filter app is great, thanks
But the normal internet browser is still darker. If i open chrome or an other app and than open the internet browser in splitscreen the whole screen gets darker. I thought there were more apps wich are darker but i think i was wrong -> the only darker app is internet but why?
@pennycake this setting changes nothing. What does it exactly do? How can i check if it's working.

Defeat that annoying dim browser!

I've created a way to bypass the "undefeatable" screen dimming when browsing the internet. I've attached a modded version of Chrome that will not dim when launched on the SGS4. This is only the first step in a full solution, as this app will not receive updates from the Play Store. This APK can be installed side-by-side with the official app.
What I did was rename the application itself in the manifest and then resign the APK. Pretty simple and a good proof of concept that the way the phone knows to dim is based on a specific list of apps that it checks. The next step to a full solution is to find out where this list is and kill it. I doubt it's in the kernel itself, but I'm not fully ruling that out yet. I'll keep digging for you guys, but at least we have a workaround for the moment.

Doesn't seem to work for me. When i start the browser it is brighter for about half a seconde after that it dims again.

Why don't you use the browser brightness setting?

Are you sure you're launching the modded Chrome and not the market one? I haven't modded "Internet" yet, but I plan on doing that too once this is verified by a few people. I've tried mine off a few reboots now and it's still sticking.

Because there is a dimming "feature" built into the stock ROM somewhere that dims both Internet and Chrome when auto-brightness is disabled and you have the brightness set to max. This is completely independent of the other power saving features and happens even if power saving is disabled.

Works perfectly for me, if your phone gets to hot it'll dim also to prevent over heating

My browsers do not dim anything. I use Chrome and stock and disabled adjust screen tone and use LUX Auto Brightness.

If an auto brightness is used, they don't dim.

It's the stock browser and Chrome that do it.

Yup, that's why I'm using dolphin, I find it better, and faster in a lot of different ways over chrome and the stock browser.

Turn off the auto calibration of color in settings - screen.

Inverted and Grayscale Mode in Kitkat 4.4.2 ?

Is there a way to invert colors in Nexus 5 for reading at night?? I found a few answers on google that said that if I accessibility setting there would be an option there, but there wasn't.
Also, same with grayscale, can I turn my screen into a grayscale screen, is there an app for this ??

No answer... I was just looking for this tweak and it seems there is no solution, for now.
I was thinking maybe with the Xposed framework...but I'm no geek

Might look at high contrast settings in accessibility.

Check out an app called Lux on the playstore. It is a replacement for stock auto brightness but has options for night viewing that would likely address what you are looking for.
