The Turn Off the Lights Safari extension version 4.3 makes a huge improvement in the Night Mode feature. That makes this the Safari dark mode extension that everyone needs to use.

Furthermore, it adds improvement to the domain table. Because now you can use the * character to add your wildcard domains. For example here is the wildcard domain for the Bandcamp website:

https://*.bandcamp.com

3 Lamp Button Action in Turn Off the Lights Safari extension iOS 15

When you install the app on your iOS device, you see the blue accent lamp button in your Safari web browser. And with a simple tap, it dims the web page and highlights the video player. However, you can customize this button action to your preference. Here is an overview of these 3 actions you can set to the lamp button:

A. Video Lover Profile

This is the default action when you tap on the blue lamp button, it will dim the web page and highlight the video if available on the web page. So you can concentrate on the content of the video player.

B. Eye Protection profile

When you enable this option and tap on the blue lamp button, it set an orange (that can be changed to any color your want) dark layer on the web page. And this dark layer stays active, even when you tap on a hyperlink or open a new web page. To remove this dark layer, just tap again on the lamp button.

C. Night Owl profile

The last option is when you tap on the blue lamp button, which converts the current website stylesheet to your personal Dark Mode theme. So it is comfortable to read the text for your eyes than on this bright website. And to get back to the default website stylesheet, tap again on this lamp button.

Now you have a consistent dark mode experience that is the same on all websites. And finally available on your smartphones and tablet.
