http://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/71.0.3770.228/

Run the installer with --launchopera=0
Start Opera with --disable-update

#enable-force-dark still can be used in this version

Since Version:71.0.3770.284, dark mode doesn't apply to web pages.
Tried to set #enable-force-dark back to Default and then Enabled again, without success.
Tried with version 72.0.3815.148, same thing.
I'm running Windows 10 64bits Version 2004 (OS >Build 19041.572)

@tareqtareq I know DarkReader, been using that for a while on FF. But it's slow, and uses a lot of ressources. Nothing compete with the Chrome/Opera native dark mode in terms of performances. That's actually the main reason why I moved form FF to Opera. Anyway, the fixture is there, just not working as it should and used to be anymore

@newbie125 Yea I guessed it was a regression, but I don't really wanna live without updates for security reasons...
Is there some Opera people coming here?

Dark mode still not working... No officials are coming here?
The solution of stopping the update is not acceptable.
It is not safe and I have many computers running fedora...

It's a Chromium experiment disabled by default, so I guess we should not expect a fix coming soon.

@IceCharles Yes, it's probably an Opera issue but due to what I said, I don't think we will see a fix soon.

So annoyed that this has been broken for a month. I don't want to have to switch back to chrome. I cheated on opera for a few years with chrome, but I've jumped back during this pandemic and don't want my eye sockets burned from white backgrounds.
