Just found out the ESETS extension does not work in Vivaldi, so I removed it and replaced it with SafeToOpen Online Security.

Serious Discussion - Trying out ESET Smart security Premium Trial version.
OK, I got curious about ESET Smart security Premium, so I installed the 1-month trial version. And maybe after that get a year licence if I like it. From the beginning, I already like how well designed the menus are. :) And from a bit of searching, I thought that ESET Smart security Premium did...

Suggestions on the main improvements
From the setup owner
View current setup
- Removed Bonjourr Minimalistic Startpage extension, I now use Vivaldi's Dashboard instead.

Because usually when a browser has that option, then I can not set it per website, Dark Reader does let me do that. Unless Vivaldii has the option to set it per website?
I don't think it has that option, but it is lighter and faster to load pages than Dark Reader.
From the setup owner
View current setup
Perhaps, but I guess the load difference will be minimal? I will try it out and see.
EDIT: No, not for me. The first site I went to already showed several pictures completely weird, and no option that I could see to deactivate it for that website. Myabe it would have been the only website where it happened, but I am sticking to Dark Reader.

Have you tried "selective inversion of non-image, elements" in the dark mode flag? This option works better than the default mode.

No I have not, but I can also not find that flag in vivaldi:flags? Or is it called something else?
EDIT: Stupid me woke up and found the setting.

No, I went back to Dark Reader. Pictures showed normally, but it causes well ... less natural colour effects.
I prefer Dark Reader over Vivaldi's Dark Mode. Dark Reader has better "Natural Colours" (If that is possible with Dark mode.
) than Vivaldi dark mode in my opinion, MajorGeeks was not the only site where I saw the weird colour change.Your Vivaldi dark mode image of majorgeeks.com looks different. Here is mine.No, I went back to Dark Reader. Pictures showed normally, but it causes well ... less natural colour effects.

OK, that is odd? Do you use the flag SeriousHoax mentioned, or a different one?
Just enable the "force a dark theme..." option in appearance settings. It enables the flag he mentioned.

I did that, but I still got those weird colours that I showed with the MajorGeeks pictures. I will play around with all the different Flag settings tomorrow to see if one of those does things better.
Did you restart Vivaldi and disable Dark Reader? The flag @SeriousHoax mentioned is better overall than others.
With Vivaldi, you can access Chrome/Chromium settings.
chrome://settings
chrome://flags

I did both of those, but I will try out again today.

Odd, now Vivaldi Darkmode looks better than yesterday, could it be that the cleaning with Wise Disk Cleaner I did today somehow make it work? (Like for the rest of you.)
Either way, I will try it out for a few days to see if it can replace Dark Reader.

I have tried Vivaldi Dark mode for a while, and although it does also darken sites like Chrome store and such, it also makes certain text difficult to read for me. Dark Reader does not do that, so it is the better option for me.
