I tried this a week ago, and it did not darken any websites at all. Followed the steps on the app and all that. Left a feedback note with that info, and well, just gave up on it. Lo and behold, a day later I recieved a response to the feedback, suggested a setting. I downloaded and tried it all again, and this time with patience because the app is pretty slow (I get about 850mps here and this ipad was getting about 650 in the room i was in when i did this, so it was the app that was slow, not any devices or speed here). It all works great after this second attempt! Webites in darkmode in Safari! No blinding lights anymore when surfing in dim lighting at night! Thank you!
The app does a nice job with color schemes. It actually renders in better dark mode colors than Dark Mode for Google - the "Dark Reader" app with the darth vader icon. I have seen system slowness and even a Safari crash due to the application. In addition I have seen the issue where I get this QUICK little burst of pure white light before the site renders - honestly that pretty much renders a dark mode useless because if I get hit with that burst of BRIGHT WHITE light that screws my eyes up indefinitely and I think others would agree. For a dark mode to work, it needs to render a website as dark RIGHT when it loads - not just when it loads from cache. Probably will move on to other service providers.
I used to primarily use Firefox as my personal browser and Chrome for web development, and sometimes still do, and I love the Dark Reader extension because it's free and works great. However, as I'm sure you all know that costs about $5 for Safari for whatever reason. I'm giving this 4 stars solely because it is FREE. It is frustrating with the popups, but I'm sure I'll get over it. I'll be sure to update my review if I change my mind, but I'm just happy I have a free alternative to an extension that SHOULD be free in the first place.
