超级好用

我一开始也不太懂怎么使用，后来才发现有一个很简单的开关点一下就能让背景变样，后来我还发现可以应用主题，而且有自定义的呢，轻松一点就可以使用了，

화면 전체를 어둡게 할 뿐 전혀 쓸모가 없습니다.

사파리 화면에 검정색 어두운 필름을 올려둔 것 처럼 작동합니다. 게다가 화면을 어디든 클릭하면 다시 원상태로 돌아옵니다. 이런걸 왜 만들었는지 모르겠네요.

Now Broken?

Used to work really well, but maybe the new iOS 26.6 broke it…no longer shows up in my settings (in Safari extensions) for me to enable/disable. Hope they fix it soon so I can enjoy online stories again.
