      Hi all, after having purchased a XIAOMI Note 10 and moved all stuff from my old Samsung J7 to the new phone I can't log in anymore into the WhatsApp in my sidebar. It won't accept the QR-code.
      However, the WhatsApp for desktop works just fine. No problems with recognizing the QR-code.

      The problem only concerns the WhatsApp in my browser's sidebar and WhatsApp web.

      I'm using Opera Version: 67.0.3575.79 on Windows 10, OS Build 17134. 1304 and Xiaomi Note 10 with MUI 11.0.8 and Android 9 PKQ1.190302.001

      Any help is highly appreciated since I use WA for work and the desktop version is horrible.

            @ecto Then that's it. Disable the flag and the QR Code will work.

              @leocg Thank you, I did it the same moment you mentioned it. I have now found other means to get Opera and most websites dark. However, no way found to get this done for WP sites and also the Dashboard. Is there a way to get this dimmed or black without having to install a WP addon or can #enable-force-dark being configured to work properly without messing around with WhatsApp?

                @ecto After you have paired Whatsapp in sidebar with your phone, you can turn the flag on again.
