I Love It!!!

"It works very well and allows per-site rules. Customizations include whitelist/blacklist, font type and size, and brightness, among others. It even let you create your own theme! Thanks Dev for this great app!"

Useless

"Is Google.com dark? Sure. Google already supports dark mode. The next site I went to, not dark. Normal white background. Checked app settings, restarted Safari. Should have been working. Wasn’t. Also, it’s not a normal extension. It’s a full blown app in the Applications folder."

User experience

"I like it very much. It solves the problem that the screen of my mobile phone is too bright at night, so that it will not affect my family when I charge it."

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari?

Q.Is Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari free, or does it require a subscription?

Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.

Q.How do I enable Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari in macOS and iOS Safari?

On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Aurora: Dark Mode for Safari" and toggle it ON.

Q.Are GreasyFork and GitHub scripts compatible with Safari on iOS and iPadOS?

Yes! Modern Safari extensions leverage WebKit Content World isolation, allowing full user script execution on mobile iOS Safari, turning your iPhone and iPad into desktop-grade workstations.

Q.Will running multiple user scripts cause web pages to stutter?

Not unless a script uses poorly constructed endless loops. Safari isolates scripts in separate execution contexts, preventing individual script crashes from bringing down the entire browser tab.

🍎 Safari Power User Tips
