Not quite black

options for contrast/more aggressive #000 backgrounds would be sick :3

Not as perfect as it is on Desktop

The extension inverts PDF (including images) that opens in the browser, affects other extension settings page (like tampermonkey.

Great but imperfect

Noir was what I started using with Safari on iOS but there are websites it doesnโ€™t work on. Since Firefox with Dark Reader is my primary configuration on desktop computers, it made sense to try their iOS app.

I found that most of the websites that donโ€™t work in Noir work in Dark Reader, and most of the sites that donโ€™t work in Dark Reader work in Noir, so instead of switching I now have Dark Reader turned on by default and Noir turned off by default, and when I encounter a website that doesnโ€™t darken, I switch by making an exception for it in both extensions.

Ideally one would be able to handle every website but nothing is ever that simple. Very few websites slip through both, so Iโ€™m pretty content with the setup.
