@varsha I tried to watch the video but it gives an error:

This also happens in other browsers

Would the dark theme for webpages not also be a good candidate for the age-actions panel? It is an action applied on the page and not really a UI theme setting (where it is located now). That would also solve the problem that you currently can't disable the dark themed websites for individual sites. I now have dark website theme disabled because it conflics with one single website.

I still have the issue that the viewport only covers half of the screen.
And please, put some effort into a serious GUI redesign, because it's still a pain in the butt to access certain features. The V-menu is extremely crowded, and there is absolutely no need for the panel button on a mobile screen, since it does not actually open any panel.
Forcing the desktop logic on a small screen is a very bad idea.
Take a look at the Samsung browser and create a similar "one for all menu" with clear sections and the ability to reorganize/remove features on/from the menu and the address bar.

@stardepp: Strange. Check now, please

There's Filter Invert, which flips the colours, so a light themed page will be dark and vice versa. It doesn't really work the same way as dark mode, but it's useful if you only want to see some light themed sites in darker colours. -
@jane-n Thanks for the tip. That indeed works. I also results in an interesting looking dark themed websites. I think though that my point still stands. The dark theme is in theory also a page-action so it should also be listed there.

Congrats on your release. The singular downer is the circumstance reader mode hasn’t been implemented as a page action. As pointed out before, making it an accessibility service and showing a popup on every page it could be used on is highly distracting and leads to people not using it at all.

@gwen-dragon: Great, something seemed broken but as always we fix it

Will there be a translator function in the future?
-
Do you always pick the “medium” option?
Nope, Speed Dial List only!

Page actions are in general not persistent because they affect the active tab rather than specific pages. Adding a site-specific, browser-wide function ("make this site dark, in all existing and future tabs") to page actions feels a bit out of place.

Ah, that makes sense. Then we just have to wait until they add an option to exclude websites from the dark website theme.

What do I have to do in order to get actual Speed Dial thumbnails as in the marketing images above?
"You’ll notice that the Large Speed Dials look visually way better than before due to the refreshed thumbnails."
I still see solid-colored backgrounds with the name of the website on it, when using Large Speed Dials. I've recently switched to Speed Dial List as my new view, but still, I am curious. Even when I add new websites to my Speed Dial, the result remains the same.
By the way: Since we now have a sorting button on the Speed Dial page, could we also get a view button to easily switch between the different Speed Dial views without having to go to the settings?
