@yesnoornext Thank you Vincent! Yeah, it resembles Blackle indeed.
On the one hand, Blackle doesn't requires you to install any extension, which is pretty cool.
On the other hand, Blackle uses Google Custom search, which is less powerful. Darkness provides dark theme for the "original" Google search, allowing you to enjoy the full power of Google: Video, News and Map search, Advanced search, immediate answers and definitions from Google (aka Knowledge Graph / Vault).

Darkness is great, love it! What other websites do you plan to "darken" in the future?
@vadimzak Thanks Vadim, glad to hear that!
We plan on skinning the leading social networks and messengers (e.g. Reddit, Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp) as well as some Google tools (Google Calendar, Google Drive/Docs, etc). This will be done gradually, of course.
We're always open for suggestions, though!
@liorgrossman How does Darkness compare to the Stylish plugin? Did you consider their approach of letting any interested designer develop CSS packages?
Using Stylish with different stylesheets for different websites is fair solution. I think Darkness has several advantages: 1. Consistency - using the same theme across multiple websites. 2. Maintainability - the vast majority of styles in UserStyles were abandoned years ago, which means they don't work anymore. Maintaining styles require work as websites change often. Darkness employs a freemium model to make sure we can keep maintaining the styles on the long run. 3. Simplicity - Darkness just works out of the box, no need to search, install and try different styles to see if they function correctly.
@arsblog As for your second question - I didn't originally thought about letting interested developers design CSS packages since I wanted to keep things simple, but several people has suggested that I open this to external designers, so this is something I will consider.
@dmgrossblatt No problem David. Interesting article (with a clickbait title, to be expected). I personally found that it does help with the transition to sleep at night. I went on and changed all my other apps (Kindle on iPad and various readers on phone) to a dark theme. Using a bright screen at night not only causes eye strain, but also affect sleep patterns.
