Dark Reader for Safari 4+

This app is great value for money, as someone who is regularly using my laptop after dark, this has taken the strain off my eyes.
As someone who's favourite colour is black, I just love what this app brings to Safari.

The app does a fine job at changing the websites' backgrounds to dark and the text to light; although every so often I will come across the website that doesnt agree with this. The images are inverted and/or you can't see the text becasue it's as dark as the background. Instagram is one example of a website that doesnt work with Dark Reader.

However, this can easily be fixed by clicking the Dark Reader icon next to the search bar and tweaking the settings. Although the easiest option is just to switch off Dark Reader for that specific website and it'll still work for the others.

That's the only issue I have and since it rarely comes up, and has a quick fix, I don't have a problem with it. I'm used to seeing websites dark theme now and usually don't think twice about it.

Solid four stars, I would definitely recommend this.
Thanks for reading my review :)

Listen, I adore this extension. I am not a dark mode user, in fact I cannot read dark mode images or sites easily at all. Yet, dark reader has become an absolutely essential part of my digital life because of how robust it's tweaks to making light mode more comfortable are. The update (on windows) that allowed you to choose your background and text colours was HUGE and finally allowed me to make my browser precisely what I needed it to be for my eyes, and the Safari version of this extension just seems to be absolutely years behind the ones on Windows' browsers - not only is there no ability to manually change the colours to your liking (Odd, considering the option seems to exist on the iOS and ipadOS variants) but the ability to change the browsers' font is also missing. I do not know if this is an Apple imposed limitation or a deliberate design choice on dark readers' part to better flow with the Apple aesthetic, but as someone who desperately needs a serif font to read comfortably over long periods of time, I was incredibly disappointed to find this feature missing. I will be using dark reader for the dimmed light mode for the time being, but so many features from the other (free!) versions for other browsers being missing is a huge let down and I truly hope we will see further development of the extension in the future.

I must admit, I was nervous at first. I'd just finished saving up to dive back into the world of Mac, realised that my go-to extension for darkening the web was available for Safari but with a price tag and I wasn't sure whether it would even be of the quality I know it to be from the other browsers.

I needn't have worried. It's the exact same extension I've come to rely on so hard (a userstyles extension like Stylish/Stylus isn't even needed) without any corners cut. The second I enabled it my web transformed. I had been using some free night mode or night light extension (something like that) for a couple of days and while it worked OK, it would break on a lot of sites. For Dark Reader, it "just works" and looks natural.

Note to the dev: Consider this purchase my way of supporting all your hard work across the browsers. Just please don't charge me again. :P
