This Safari extension offers dark mode browsing in Safari. Dark Night mode adds a beautiful theme to every page you visit. It is based on the Dark Reader open source project used by over 4,000,000 users. So the look of dark mode on every website has been carefully tested. USE DARK NIGHT SAFARI EXTENSION The built-in Safari dark mode is affordable and will stay like that forever with full support for all websites for delightful night reading. YOUR PRIVACY, OUR PRIORITY The Dark Night extension was built with privacy as a no. 1 priority so it doesn't collect any data from Safari while you're browsing with calm eyes. Privacy Policy is linked on the store. CUSTOMIZE IT This extension can be disabled on a per-site basis and configured to follow the system dark mode (dark at night, light during the day). Just use the Safari extension menu to access it. -- Reports and feedback are welcome at: neonoirapp@gmail.com -- THE FUTURE IS COLORFUL More customized themes are coming soon, get ready to color all sites to your liking! This optional extra is the only place where we might charge a small fee and your kind contribution will support the development of this project. Half of all that income is going back to the Dark Reader community project. BEAUTIFUL NIGHT BROWSING STARTS HERE You are more than welcome to keep using the app for free forever! What are you waiting for? Your eyes are the apples of your eyes! See you on the other side. (I wonder which one that is... ;)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Hyperweb at Free against Dark Night's $0.99. Hyperweb also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 205). Dark Night's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
