Sometimes after opening some sites my browser Opera GX (LVL2 (core: 71.0.3770.175)) include dark theme for current site. This problem covers some sites (not all). In opera settings I didn't include dark theme for all sites. How i can fix it?

I attach the screenshots with this problem

I´m having this same issue, instead of changing the configuration what I´m using as a workaround is selecting everything (ctrl+a) so the marked text will make it readable.

I confirm, there is such a problem, on some sites the background suddenly disappears. And this is not a dark topic, this is a bug of all bields of the 71 version.

I had to go back to the 68 version. Everything is ok there.

It happens on all pages or just in those pages that have an dark theme? Did a little test here and it seems to me that sites are detecting that you are using a dark them in the browser and are giving you the dark themed version of the page. The same is happening in regular Opera.

@leocg You are wrong. The 'dark theme' looks different. This is a bug. Look, at the top there is an incorrectly displayed page, at the bottom of the 'dark theme' of the same page. And yet, in version 68 this bug is not present.

@meiso-op what @leocg is saying is that by default Opera GX uses a dark color theme instead of Opera that allows you to choose between light and dark theme, based on that "configuration" some sites are loading their "dark theme" but for some bug they change the background to black but don´t change their font color. That is why this issue happens with some sites and others not, because the other probably didn´t implement that rule/configuration.

@JFrigo I understood everything that he was saying. You must understand me the same way. I do not use the dark theme (like everyone who unsubscribed here). On version 68, everything is fine, does it bother you?

@meiso-op Maybe Opera 68 didn't support dark theme detection?

Do you have example links of pages where you see the issue happening?

@andrepsicologo I've tried a few links there and got a light themed page on all of them.

I already reset the global settings, I reset the Cache and this problem continues. I also did the command opera: // flags / # enable-force-dark
Default -> Disabled and did not work. Sometimes the links open in a normal way, but mostly they open with a dark background and it is impossible to read. In other browsers it is completely normal, and the bug started operating in a short time, I believe in the last update. It may also be the last Windows update (20H2 19042.541)

@andrepsicologo Did you try cleaning the cookies? Did you try with a clean profile directory?

@skiamakia Do you have a couple of examples of pages that are loaded with dark theme?
