      So, basically my Opera got "dark mode"(not really dark mode, its a bug actually) on some random pages. I tried everything, even reintalling, nothing seems to work. Some ideas?

          Does the issue persist if hardware acceleration is disabled? (You can disable it in advanced preferences > System section

                I randomly found out that if you open Inspect Element (Ctrl+Shift+C or Right Click -> Inspect Element) and close it right after it will fix the issue for quite some time.Works 100% of the time for me.Hope i helped

                  In this thread, we wrote about this "solution" a week ago. Only this is not a solution. It's a crutch.
                  We are still waiting for a patch from the developers.

                    It is doing the same thing for me. Very annoying. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled it it did not work. Maybe I should get the normal opera

                          Hello,

                          since the last update I have problems with the dark mode, if this is related to dark mode, which is really annoying. So I would like to disable this at all...

                          A lot of pages look like this (dark font on dark background):

                            Same here

                            You can disable forced dark mode like here (it's solves problem like on your screenshot)
                            But I can't find anywhere option to disable it completly, because dark mode is still remains even after step above, it's just not broken

                                        I used to have this issue, but fortunately after the last update, this issue is gone.

                                          The update before the last one fixed this, but my browser updated again today and now I can't disable dark mode, nor does it fix when I restart. I even went to opera://flags/#enable-force-dark and it's disabled, but pages are coming up dark when they didn't when it was supposed to be fixed. Seemed the problem returned.

                                            Please ignore my last post. It was simply the page my friend sent me and it mirrored the issue, but was solely a problem with that website. I can't delete my post because it hasn't been approved and I can't find it to delete it before it shows up.
