Dark Reader (extension for Chrome)
This extension inverts brightness of web pages and aims to reduce eyestrain while browsing the web.
Definitely a must have, you can tune the contrast, greyscale and even sepia. I don't use it on youtube (lag).

A new "lightweight" DE is out, Lumina, from the PC-BSD guys.
http://lumina-desktop.org/get-lumina/#debian-testing
Installable on Debian Stable and on Testing/sid.
From the Lumina webpage:
It has been written from scratch in C++/Qt5 and is not based on any existing desktop’s code-base. It also does not use any of the Linux-based desktop frameworks (ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, D-Bus, systemd, etc..), instead using a simple built-in interface layer for communicating directly with the operating system (which is the only class specific to the operating system – making it simple to port/customize).
Systemd and friends not needed.
Edit: I think the the WM is Fluxbox.

It sure looks like all the Qt desktops, this one resembles LXQt or Qt on top of Fluxbox.

Hm, that is what I thought but it did not work here with a deb file I downloaded. Not sure if I understood it right or made some mistake.

It works, you have to use the full path for the local file (/home/user/Downloads/your.deb)
The bug report for the regression says
Administrators doing "apt-get install /home/<...>.deb" should know what they are doing.
Of course I didn't know what I was doing, too ;)

curious: is there any good reasoning as to why they'd make it so you'd have to use the full path? because i dont really get why that would be so important.

rho, because you can use apt on local repositories, too (via sources.list), or on local networks, so the path is needed to tell apt that you want to install a local package, not a file from a (local or remote) repository (of which the priorities would again be managed by apt's PinPriority entry in /etc/apt/preferences) . I guess the / in front of the filename tells APT to extract the local file.
