The Best Dark Mode Safari Extension I’ve Ever Used
I think you’ll like it, too
As a tech blogger, I sit before my Mac for hours everyday. Unfortunately, all the websites I use for my research have light backgrounds with dark text. Damn. They kill my eyes.
The iOS 15 was a boon for me. It brings support for extensions on my favourite browser — Safari. Ever since, I’ve tried many free dark mode extensions for the safety of my eyes.
They worked well, but it seemed they weren’t much engineered for all test cases. Of course, they’re free apps. Why should I expect much from them?
But finally, I’ve tried Dark Reader — A paid app that’s listed #11 in Productivity and #1 among all dark reader extension apps on the App Store. It’s my first paid app.
It costed me $4.99. Pretty high, but is absolutely worth it. Here’s why.
#1. Collects no data
Back when I used the free dark mode extensions, I always had that anxious suspicion if they’re collecting all my precious login credentials. I could see they collect data, in the App Store’s App Privacy section. However,
The Dark Reader makes me feel secure. It collects no data — Verified by Apple.
