Dark mode for every website

Overview

Version:

1.5.9

Last updated: 2026-06-30

Features & Capabilities

Dark Reader for Safari brings dark mode to every website by generating on-the-fly dark themes. It inverts bright colors to deliver high-contrast text that’s easier on the eyes, and it integrates with your system’s dark mode for a seamless browsing experience.

Customize brightness and contrast, apply a sepia tone, or choose from color presets. You can enable or disable Dark Reader per site, auto-synchronize with system dark mode, or let it detect sites that are already dark. The extension is ad-free and does not collect user data, and a single purchase includes macOS Safari access through the same iCloud account. For best results, enable Dark Reader in Safari preferences and disable conflicting extensions.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Dark Reader for Safari for reducing eye strain and automatically darkening most sites, with strong customization and per-site control. Many view it as worth the price and valuable across platforms. However, recurring concerns center on Safari-specific performance issues (crashes/lag), inconsistent site rendering on Safari (including charts), and occasional bugs after updates that disrupt website behavior.

Pros

Significant eye strain relief and improved readability across most websites.
Automatically applies dark mode across sites, reducing need to hunt for toggles.
Rich customization options, including contrast controls, dark-theme detection, and per-site exceptions.
Per-site control to disable or override on specific sites when needed.
Widely praised and considered worth the price by many users.

Cons

Safari-specific performance issues: crashes on iPhone/macOS and noticeable browsing slowdowns.
Inconsistent site compatibility on Safari: some sites don’t darken properly or render incorrectly (e.g., charts, heavy pages).
Updates can introduce bugs that disrupt site rendering or behavior (e.g., Google sites freezing, YouTube tab issues).

I just installed this, and being on iPhone, the first website I opened just to test is Apple’s website. Have you tested that? The images are bright but still is the text on them, so it’s all hard to read, with some black lines in between each image
