Your Safari browser is dark likely because Dark Mode is enabled on your device. When Dark Mode is activated, Safari, along with other apps and system interfaces, switches to a darker color scheme to reduce eye strain in low-light environments and save battery life on OLED screens. To switch it back, you can navigate to your device’s Settings > Display & Brightness and select Light mode. Alternatively, some websites have a dark mode feature that can be adjusted directly on their pages.
