So clean!

While there is a lot of flexibility in the settings, I love having videos in theater view to go full browser width and then the background screen tint to almost full black. It creates a nearly identical experience of being in fullscreen mode without having activate that over and over. This is a top 5 extension for me!!

Best dark mode Safari extension

This is a top-tier dark mode / night mode Safari extension for iOS 15+. It’s also free, and doesn’t look to have any privacy issues. I’d recommend changing the background color to pure black, and set it to automatically apply to all webpages. It works great.

For the developer, it may be worth considering having the app open directly to night mode settings. I think that will be a lot more popular in this mobile app than it may be on desktop. After my experience with this, I’ll definitely be looking into the extension for Microsoft Edge on my PC.

Great dark mode

Great extension for dark mode. I like the customizations you can do with the texts however there’s two annoyances that I have with this. The first one is the dark mode switch that’s on the lower left hand corner. It’s too big and there’s no option to get rid of it. This needs to be more of an option in the address bar if you want to switch on and off. The second is that when going in a website when you have the settings in automatic dark mode the page is white for a brief second then goes into dark mode. If there’s a way to get it dark just before the page loads that would be great.

Hi Kosta-S87,

Thank you for your 4 star review!

You can hide the switch, there is a checkbox in the Turn Off the Lights Options page to hide the switch after your chosen seconds (or you type 0s).
Also, if you want to use only the Night Mode part. Then you can concert the lamp button action to the Night Owl profile (= the name to activate Night Mode feature). See this YouTube video tutorial:

And the second part, that is coming very soon in a new update for the public users. It was before available for the beta users in my TestFlight app.

Please if you have any questions or need help you can contact us at https://www.turnoffthelights.com/support
We are happy to help you.

Thanks,
