<![CDATA[Dark Mode that prevents white flashbangs]]>I hate white flashbangs when I open a website, it was a problem solved until the latest version. Now the problem is here again.

I think Opera should have a setting that forces the default color when switching websites. Default blank page color.

Opera 116.0.5366.21 version = white flashbang problem

Opera 115.0.5322.77 version = problem free

Of course I will skip updating to newer and bad version.

*Thanks Opera, now I am hesitant to install future updates too just because you break a feature that no other browser breaks.

If there's a video on the webpage, it brings the video to the top of the dark layer.

I (developer of Turn Off the Lights) believe in customizing the web to suit your preferences. On the Turn Off the Lights Options page, you can enable the Night Mode feature. Additionally, you can customize the lamp action to activate the Night Mode feature.

See this YouTube video tutorial (you see the Chrome web browser, but it is a browser extension that works on all web browsers):

That includes the Night Mode option where you can choose the background and text color

I have it on all the time. But with the latest update it doesn't help with flashbangs but justs makes the web pages dark. That is why I want a specific setting for forcing the dafult blank page color.

There is an option in Easy Setup called "Force dark mode on pages" that forces dark mode on pages where it is possible. This option is available if you use dark theme (Classic, Aurora or any theme with dark mode). Hope it helps!
