      @mohamedsalah - light colors are very hard for my eyes to read, so this generalization that they are "more positive and optimistic" is not super inclusive of people with vision problems. I tried using the 3rd party dark mode extension, but it was too buggy. I'm loving Opera Air so far, but really need a dark theme to be sustainable for long term use. Otherwise I'll probably have to go back to Firefox.

        @mohamedsalah A Dark mode is badly needed. How is it a fact that light colors help being more positive and optimistic. I am sure many users agrees that without dark mode they will not use this browser. I will have to check back later and see if it is added.

          I gave it an honest shot for 2 weeks, but I've gone back to Chrome now. Not having an actual dark mode is just too much of an inconvenience that I don't want to use the browser. A shame, because I like the music features and built-in WhatsApp/Messenger, but not enough to be looking at white all the time.

            I would also luv to see a dark mode option added. Maybe a "dark mode" that has mindfulness effects incorporated into it in keep with the theme of Opera Air? 🤗

                A dark mode would be so nice in Opera Air. Air has by far the nicest UI, but I just can't live on light mode so I refuse to use it. Mods and something like GX Control would definitely be nice, but dark mode is a necessity.

                  I've been using Opera since year 2000, installed Air just now aaaaaand I just can't use it, sorry. Everything is just too damn bright, I just can't use it. It will remain installed, but unfortunately it won't be used until the dark mode is added back. Sorry.

                        @mohamedsalah Light mode is awful, and hurt eyes. Dark mode Reduce Eye Strain... It's even proved. I'll comme back when dark mode will be available 😉

                            Nowadays we spent a lot of time on the screens and how can you say you are helping users get relief with mindfulness while not including dark mode integration? opera air needs dark mode extensions cant modify everything like tab bar and toolbar. Also a dark glassy transparent look on dark mode is note possible when using dark mode extensions. A mindfulness browser should also care for our eyes!!!

                                I don't quite understand this "brighter makes you happier" thing. I'm sure there's some background to it, but in IT, I don't think it has significance. We're already in twilight here, I just installed Opera Air for the first time and it almost burned out my brain 😃

                                For me, a bright display is often more irritating, while a darker one is more relaxing. This is especially relevant if you're using a stronger monitor, although even if I turn down the brightness, I still have to squint at bright displays.

                                I'm really looking forward to dark mode because it seems to be a good browser overall 🙂

                                  I had been using Opera GX, but design wasn't my type, so after updating windows decided to download Opera Air due to pretty interface, but there wasn't dark theme. I think that will be great to add theme selection in the future(

                                        If you are an Opera employer, note that some users just prefer dark mode to avoid excess light, specially the blue one. This is also related to healthy people! To keep these people here (we are a lot!), this is a crucial point. The mindfulness approach is amazing, but lets evolve with some inclusion? You are missing public in this case. Thank you!

                                            I recently started using Opera Air and the biggest feature that bugs me from using this browser is that there is no dark mode option in the settings. I've used dark mode for so long that I can't stand looking at these white backgrounds, it hurts my eyes. Please add dark mode.
