      Hello,
      I'm having a problem related to Opera making Google pages into dark mode. Some google pages (at least are the only ones I noted this) are forced into Dark mode by Opera GX.
      The problem started on another PC and even when I started using a new one, the problem persisted. I tried cleaning the profile folder of Opera in my PC and when I opened the pages, they were ok, but the problem returns as soon as I synchronize my data with my Opera account.
      Also tried the "Reset to default" in Opera GX configurations. The pages return to normal, but, again, as soon as I log in to my Opera account, it bugs.

      With that in mind, I'm pretty sure it's related to my opera account, but don't know how to solve, or what exactly is causing the issue.

      Obs.: I'm not using, nor have activated the "Force Dark Pages" option.

      An example page, of Google Docs.

            @leocg Yes. On Opera and on Google. The thing is: when I turn Google Dark Mode off, it goes to an even worse dark mode.
            For instance, Google Search with dark mode on:

            And with Dark Mode off:

              @rhiyaro Some pages can detect that you are using a dark theme and enable their own dark themes.

                @leocg On another PC, where I have to use Chrome, the pages are normal. Also, when I turn Opera dark mode off, it doesn't change.

                  @rhiyaro Did you try cleaning cookies and cache?

                    @leocg Yes.
                    I even tried a new whole "profile" in Opera. Renamed the "Opera GX Stable" profile folder and let opera create a new one. But then when I connected to my opera account, it went back.

                      @rhiyaro Are you syncing settings? That may be it.

                        @leocg I don't know, but probably. But what setting should I change to make it stop?
                        Or if I should just reset the settings that are synchronized, how do I do that?

                          @rhiyaro You would need to reset your synced data.

                          Before doing that, you can try resetting your local settings.
