Safari introduces Adaptive Dark Mode in 27.3

When enabled by a user, Safari adapts light websites and presents them as dark.


In the spring of 2019, Safari 12.1 became the first browser to support dark mode on the web. A lot of people love using dark mode, but not every website has a dark version.

Almost 40% of web page loads are from users in dark mode, and yet only 10% of page loads support it. If you love dark mode, you’ve probably hit a site that felt particularly bright.

Adaptive Dark Mode is designed to close that gap, providing a consistent dark experience across the web. You can try it today in Safari 27.3 beta.

To enable, first make sure your system appearance is set to dark. Then browse to a website with a bright background. Safari will offer a preview of Adaptive Dark Mode.
