      Greetings. Few days ago, I happily realized that Opera Mobile had a new feature called Night Mode.
      It's something like we can achieve in opera for windows through 3rd party add-ons like "Dark Mode" or "Dark Reader".

      For security reasons we should have that feature as (standard Opera feature) for windows also.

      Unless I misunderstand the way those add-ons work, while I think since they "read" everything is goin on to the page using those add-ons, they can see our passwords too.

        @manospetrucci Night mode and dark mode are not the same thing.
        Night mode, at least on its origin, only reduced the emission of what is called blue light. Even because there wasn't a dark mode yet.

          @leocg I understand that. But the add-ons "Dark Mode" or "Night Mode" are doing the same exactly thing.
          Which is... Alternating the CSS of any web page that obviously supports CSS, turning a white background and black text, to its opposite, black or (dark grey) background and white or (light grey) text.
          The "Night Mode" of Mobile Opera, is not only reducing the emission of "blue light", using a bar to a personal preference, but also does what I described above.

            @manospetrucci In the night mode settings in Opera for Android, you can choose to use or not a dark mode/theme. By default I guess it follows the system.

              @manospetrucci And in Opera for desktops, there is a Chromium flag to force dark mode on web pages.

                @leocg Thanks! I believe that option should be as an (on/off) button like (VPN) is on the left side for example.

                  @manospetrucci They seem to be testing it in Opera GX.
