How to reproduce the issue:
- Go to opera://flags/#enable-force-dark
- Choose any option to force enable dark pages and relaunch.
- It doesn’t work.
I've attached the screenshots of opera browser, and also of chrome browser to compare.

That flag is to control how dark mode behaves when you force dark mode for a page. It's not for enabling dark mode on its own.
For example, goto https://example.com/, click the Easy Setup button and choose "Force dark mode on pages". Then, change the flag to "Enabled simple HSL" for example and restart Opera and see how the example.com page looks.
If a page is in dark mode, you can right-click and disable dark mode for the page, which will add the site to the disabled list at the URL
opera://settings/content/forceDarkMode.For the flag, the most common option (if someone decides they need it) is the selective inversion of non-image elements so dark mode doesn't turn images white for example.

Basically in Chrome or Edge, #enable-force-dark turns ALL WEBPAGES into dark mode regardless of whether they have a dark theme or not.
Have you ever refreshed a website using dark mode and seen short-lived white flashes during when it loads up? That's the browser's default white background showing up while the rest of the web content is loading. And when I use the #enable-force-dark option in Chrome/Edge, that background is flipped to black and I don't get epilepsy when I visit webpages.
