Dark Mode for Safari 4+

What Dark Mode is Meant to Be

This extension is fantastic! I have been using dark mode in Mojave since it released and over time I have found the extreme contrast between my native dark apps and the web pages in Safari to be overbearing at time. This extension works wonders on almost any website I have tried so far.

As a note for improvement, it would be nice if you could look into the Google Docs editor. I enjoy having the black interface on the majority of the screen, but this extension turns the entire document page black with white text. I spend a great deal of my time editing Google Docs and it would be great it this did not occur.
Other than that, I have no complaints. Big thanks to the developers!

Largely effective and cross-platform 🎉 can be flakey 😭

Let me start by acknowledging that the challenge that this extension attempts to meet (providing some "dark mode" CSS for websites whose pages don't support it) is actually a very difficult (arguably impossible) thing to do with 100% success.

This extension does a pretty damned good job for a LOT of websites, which deserves praise.

In cases where the site winds up looking flat-out wrong (like pages rendering like a photo negative, or sites that may already attempt dark mode support and wind up somehow unreadable), this extension offers the "escape hatch" of disabling it for a particular page or entire site.

Unfortunately, however, I have been running into scenarios where its toolbar icon becomes entirely unresponsive (macOS only; not seeing this behavior on iOS — yet? — fwiw). Sadly, the only way to "fix" the matter is to relaunch Safari… which is frankly better described as a "hassle" than a "fix".

In any case, software is hard. Hoping there's a fix soon 🤞

Developer Response ,

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I’m taking notes of all of them.The extension works very well for most of the websites out there in the wild. But if you have some websites that are not perfect, Dark Mode can offer some options: you can either add the site to the ignore list, or you can choose what sites Dark Mode to run on (only the sites that are rendered perfectly).If you have any questions, please write me to hello@alexdenk.eu and for sure I can assist you in any matter. Regards.

Can't live without it

I don't write reviews often but this app deserves it. I've been using this for probably a few years now. It's one of the first things I install on new machines. This app should be built into the system and the developer did an amazing job
