Edge dark mode

Question

Guys - in the latest update, dark mode doesn't work very consistently on some sites like ebay. Any fixes I can try? In edge://flags/#enable-force-dark under Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents, I have default selected and also tried Enabled with selected but can't get it to work consistently

Thanks

Hi @Jake Sokol

This partially has to do with each individual website and is not perfect. I'd recommend reporting this directly to the MS Edge team through the feedback portal if you want it to be actioned:

I sent the feedback but honestly, force dark mode works much better in Chrome but that's a very memory-heavy browser. Anything else I can try within Edge for better results?

Also side question - doesn't microsoft q&a automatically notify once there is a comment on a post I created?

Thx

Hi @Jake Sokol ,

The enablement of Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents flag forces sites to be rendered in dark mode. But it may encounter some issues since it's an experimental feature. As for me, in Edge 107.0.1418.56 the flag works fine on ebay and other mainstream sites, and I simply select Enabled. However, Default does not work for me.

In short, you can:

1. Try disabling your extensions (if installed).
2. Clear browsing data. Go to Settings --> Privacy, search, and services --> Clear browsing data
3. If none of the above works for you, you can simply reinstall Edge.
