Instagram / Whatsapp dark mode (sidebar)

We really need a dark version for both Whatsapp and Instagram when accessed from the sidebar. Most apps/websites have dark themes and opening up a big white screen on top is very annoying! I know there are third party extensions from chrome that solve this but they are all so glitchy.

@willnv Already tried opera://flags/#enable-force-dark?

@leocg Thanks, I didn't know that was a thing. It make it look better but some buttons and texts are now too opaque and can barely be seen. My suggestion still remains, to work on an exclusive dark mode function for wpp/instagram where somebody actually chooses the colors.

@willnv You need to contact Instagram then and ask for a dark theme.

@Akashk7 You need to ask Facebook.
Or you can try the Chromium flag mentioned above.

@leocg When opera://flags/#enable-force-dark? is Enaled, QR Scanning is not working due to inversion of QR code color. Same with Force Dark Page(beta). Should I report separately????
