## Dark Reader for Safari Description
Dark Reader is an eye-care Safari extension that enables night mode by creating dark themes for websites on the fly. It inverts bright colors to make web pages high contrast and easier to read. Dark Reader integrates seamlessly with system dark mode.

Adjust brightness and contrast to match your display and ambient lighting. Enable dark mode on every web page or give websites a sepia tone. Select from multiple color theme presets or create your own by customizing background and text colors. Enable or disable Dark Reader for specific websites, automatically sync with system dark mode, or detect already dark websites and leave them unchanged.

Developed by the original creators of Dark Reader. Since 2014, we continuously evolve alongside modern web technologies to deliver fast and reliable dark mode support for people sensitive to bright light.

A single purchase includes access to the macOS version (Safari browser) when using the same iCloud account.

Dark Reader contains no ads and does not collect user data.

Enable Dark Reader in Safari preferences and disable similar extensions to prevent conflicts. Enjoy browsing!

## Dark Reader for Safari Reviews in South Africa

### ****- "Great app but not flawless"
So I really want to love this app, and think it works great for most websites but definitely not all - specifically some of the local websites I use. For some shopping websites, the imagines are just blacked out along with the background, so you have to disable it - which is a real shame. I gave it four stars because it does work most of the time, but just some of the times is annoying enough to lose a star. If the developer wants to fix it, I’d be more than happy to help to make the app as good as possible!
-- Mike Parkin, 2022-01-16

### ***-- "Lacks configurability"
This works as advertised, but there is some room for improvement. It occasionally still misses some bright colours on the screen, and also at times creates situations where there is less contract between test and background rather than more.

It help a lot if it were possible to cconfigure the extension to be off by default, and only on for some sites frequently used late at night. It might also benefit greatly from some kind of threshold setting for indiividual websites, to allow us to tune what we consider "bright" colours which should be filtered.

On the whole, it is promising, and does do what it says, but it just introduces to many annoyances along with it.

It's also quite disappointing that the Safari extension is paid for, while the Chrome extension is free. In its current state, I don't feel like I've really gotten my money's worth. It some improvements can be made to make it more flexible and configurable, that might change.
