No default dark mode in Safari!
The dark mode in Safari will depend on the system color scheme. I.e. whether the system wide dark mode is turned on or not. The Brave web browser has also a separate appearance switches that will let you enable or disable dark mode just for the browser alone. That said, the Brave browser gives its users a ton of flexibility compared to all other web browsers out there.
As you guys may know, the Brave browser’s dark mode is well optimized. And looks awesome compared to other ones out there. In my testing, I couldn’t find any issues that relate when I navigate it since the browser interferes. With the black and gray pixels used for highlighting the important elements perfectly. And finally, when you guys come across a website that supports dark mode by default. I am sure that you guys will get a terrific experience.
But sadly, the Brave’s dark mode will not have a significant impact on the battery life of iPhones that has the OLED displays. This is because since most of the sites do not feature for native dark mode support yet. But if you guys really need to surf all of your websites in dark mode, we would recommend you guys for using Firefox for iOS, which I will talk after this.

Although firefox is not a privacy oriented web browser like the Brave. But it does come pretty close with the other features of the Brave browser.
