Was this coded by the Vivaldi team, or is chrome’s version of dark mode being used for this?
-
Wow, amazing news! I still used a different browser on the smartphone, mainly due to the lack of a dark mode in Vivaldi.
I've just tested and I can say that this still needs to be improved. Some sites from my bookmarks become unreadable.
I don’t even know if it’s worth sending a bug report with list, because if everyone sends their list, the function may soon disappear as it was appeared
-
Thank you!
-
Great, my poor eyes appreciate it. For now I use Dark Mode in flags, which also works very well, but naturally better to have it at hand in the settings and without restart.
-
Was about fkn time for this.. the browser was unusable without it and the content blocker.
-
I don't use the native mode.I use the dark mode extension by grephy which is in the web store.
-
@skphere , Dark Mode in flags does not, only acts on the background of the page and only if it is a light color.The only disadvantage is that to activate and deactivate you need to restart Vivaldi.
-
Dark mode extension is excellent.has a toolbar button which you can turn on and off with just a click of the mouse and has right click exclude functionality.Multiple dark modes available too within the options.
-
@Priest72 , Vivaldi Mobil don't admit extentions yet. This Threat isn't for Vivaldi Desktop.
-
@Priest72 Please look at the category of this thread. No extensions. No mouse.
// Edit: duplicate post as I see
-
Extensions please!!!
-
Great, no need to fiddle with flags any more...
-
Hmm, one more thing: please make the dark/light webcontent swich more accessible, like there directly after clicking the V button. One can easily imagine wanting to see a page both in light and in dark mode.
-
@catweazle: Does the Vivaldi Dark Mode not rely on the flag setting? If not, will it interfere with the Flag setting and how it affects the page/images?
I do hope that in the end, once it becomes Stable, that images aren't inverted by this new setting like reported.
-
@Gort , no, in vivaldi://flags Dark Mode has several options, both on desktop and on mobile. One of them excludes images from the invert filter, and only inverts pages that do not already have a default dark mode anyway.
As I said, it works very well, with the only disadvantage of having to restart Vivaldi, to make the activation effective. -

Completely agree with this. Some pages get some really weird artefacts or are completely broken in dark mode. For those it's required to have an easily accessible switch (maybe something like "Always use light mode for this site") in order to have an okay browsing experience.
-
@Komposten , this is true, there are a few websites, which do not show the content in Dark Mode well (very few). In Vivaldi desktop then serves the Invert Filter of Actions on the page as a workarround. But this in Vivaldi Mobile is not available.
But while there is not agood Dark Mode option available in the settings, the flags solution is the best option. -
@Catweazle Thanks for the further explanation.
Thing is, I really should have mentioned that I use the vivaldi://flags/#darken-websites-checkbox-in-themes-setting flag that allows for the Dark Mode tick-box in Themes in the stable Vivaldi for Android browser. That's the only flag I set, which allows for website Dark Mode to be enacted if you tick a box that appears if you set the flag. Just wondering if that actual flag's effects have been changed by the new Vivaldi Dark Mode, because currently it doesn't affect images (I haven't touched the other flag)?
-
@profi: I think they will listen to feedback on this, for sure. The main thing: Dark Mode is here; improvements to come.
