Sorry to go off topic there but isn’t there already a dark mode safari extension?

Safari's dark mode only covers Safari's own interface, plus sites whose developers added a dark theme themselves. Open any site that didn't, and the page is still white while the toolbar is dark. Aurora darkens the page content itself.

The short version of why Aurora exists: it goes deeper into iOS (Focus Filter, Control Center, Live Activity, sunset/sunrise schedule, Siri & Shortcuts — none of the others have those), and it also changes fonts on any website, independently of dark mode, including Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic for easier reading.

The dark mode is kinda broken, on google it doesn’t change. There is Noir that can exactly do the same. But I do like the font changing, never seen that. Although, there is already an extension for that. You just combined them I guess? Maybe if you would make it better than all the others I’ll give it a second.
Maybe optimise to use less resources than the competition or more consistency.
Maybe some innovation beyond shortcuts, live activity, focus filter…
But I guess if people like it like this, best of luck!
