      Steps:

      1. enable Audo Dark Mode for Web Contents on pc using chrome://flags (Linux KDE Manjaro, but I don't think that does matter, with Opera 84.0.4316.14 stable installed)
      2. try to use MyFlow by connecting phone
        Scanning QR code does not work.

      It's not that the QR code in general is bad, I've tried with a different app and it works, it's Opera on Android that has difficulties connecting/reading.

        @maxdule You need to disable dark mode to use the QR code.

          If you don't want to disable dark mode, a workaround is to right-click on the QR code image and save it. Then, open it up in an image viewer program really quickly and scan it from there.

            @leocg I found that myself, after losing almost half an hour in unsuccessful attempts.

            @burnout426 I have actually tried that, but it didn't work. Not sure why.

            So the actual workaround is - disable dark mode, connect phone, enable dark mode. 👶
