    My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.

    There are actually some models already with a built in ambient light sensor. I don’t know how much of a convenience it would be, whether it would be distracting if small changes in ambient light make the brightness go up and down all the time. I personally prefer changing it manually - I have a macro pad with knobs which are mapped to do that.

    Controversial opinion: if your monitor is set to the proper brightness for the room’s ambient light, light or dark theme becomes a matter of preference. If you’re in a completely dark room with your brightness set to 100%, then of course a light theme won’t work.







  • Saving a picture and posting it somewhere.

    I see people making screenshots of their whole phone’s screen and posting them just to show a picture. In reality, maybe 90% of the time, if you see a picture on the screen of your phone, you can save that picture, with no pointless information around it, no black bars and so on. Even if that’s not possible, Android for example has been doing something from the recent apps screen that lets you extract a picture from an app’s screen - and that’s arguably even easier than doing a screenshot.

    Same sentiment here. Coming from Opera (in the days it had its own engine) and having been using Vivaldi as my daily since its first public preview, native mouse gestures is the thing I miss the most from Firefox.

    I know that the folks at Vivaldi are pretty strongly against the manifest v3 thing, but seems like at one point they’ll have to fold.
