automatically regulate
Is completely out of the scope (this is for manual adjustment). Most likely there should be tools for that, and others that overlap with HDR stuff.

Thanks so much, you were right and now I no longer need to bother with the javascript bookmark!
There is one chrome extension that does this: "Sites Dimmer - sharp brightness reduction". Paired with "Dark Reader" it does an amazing job.
I'm now using "Dark Reader" to affect only several websites that I've configured it for and I made sure that "Sites Dimmer - sharp brightness reduction" wasn't affecting those, but any other website with bright colors will be set to 85% brightness automatically.
Why I'm still using "Dark Reader" is b/c I quite like the custom dark theme that I have for some websites. So using both is really nice.
Would be pretty cool if this can be used to automatically regulate brightness for HDR monitors, based on having a certain amount of vibrant grey/white pixels being detected in any internet browser (or just chrome), with the exception of videos played in the browser.
I have a HDR monitor and always leave HDR on, it'd be unbearable if it wasn't for the chrome extension called "Dark Reader". But the caveat is that "Dark Reader" can't always get the colors right, sometimes it's so bad you can't even read text b/c of it. So to fix this I have a bookmark called "RESET COLORS" with the following content: "javascript:const lock = document.createElement('meta');lock.name = 'darkreader-lock';document.head.appendChild(lock);".
This resets the effect of "Dark Reader" on the webpage, to make the colors temporarily normal again (which is sometimes ofc very bright as well). It's also quite a hassle to set up "Dark Reader" for the many websites that I want it to work on. So if you ever make a browser-based brightness regulator for HDR monitors, I would love to have it! Seems too challenging for me to make myself tbh, especially the part where you detect a video being played in the browser. But if you have info regarding that, you could share it with me if you want^^ Then maybe I'll manage to figure out the rest.
