    You can see from the B in the name, that it is actually the Bitdefender engine that is detecting it.

    I don't use it for desktop/laptop. But I find it to be good option in iPhone since it comes with some interesting features. For example a built-in adblocker and script blocker.

    Yup. I really don't get the idea of adding all these features but not something as important as an option of a light/dark mode.

    What is this Dark theme thing? Are people becoming blind or what?

    Seems to me it would be more because people's eyes are becoming extremely sensitive to light. Maybe caused by staring at computers screens all day and never getting outside in the sunlight?

    :confused:

    Dark themes seem to irritate my eyes more.

    Maybe because it would look nice for some?

    Making sure everything works fine without any bugs or issues is top priority. However after that is done as best as you currently can, making something look nice isn't a bad thing.

    Or maybe accepting that people preferences can be different instead of calling them names.

    Yeah, when you work on a computer more than 8h a day and you 40+ years old, you will love dark themes that doesn't blind you; in fact if Wilders would have a dark theme i would use it.

    Yes, extension called ' Dark background, light text', which works best for me especially with Wilders. Using with firefox 58.0
    To make it look as best as it can, make sure you set Wilders theme to 'Flat_Awesome', other Wilders themes seem broken a bit with this extension.
    Also, I use option 'Invert' with global colors slightly modified.

    other extension that I can remember that does the same thing, called TVL nightmode which has more customization if one would prefer that.

    I used to use TVL on Chrome before switching to Firefox. You may also try that on Chrome and see which works best for you :thumb:

    Very nice! I'm using it now and like it most because I can use it with VB theme (I love those classic headers of the VB theme).

    (The mode for these colors are Dark invert#5, just to save anyone's else time of trying each mode)

    I'm afraid we've hijacked this thread tho :isay:

    Im not calling anyone names. It was a honest question: Are people becoming blind?

    And it appears that the answer is yes.

    And it's no wonder. You folks stare all day tv screens, laptop screens, smartphone tiny (ugh!) screens.

    I already noticed that my eyesight started to detoriate when people still used CRT as their monitor (yeah, im that old...)
    Basically, you had a big electron gun staring right at you.

    LED monitors were a thing from heaven but still I learned from my lesson:
    Take a break, let eyes rest, eat food (or dietary supplements) that contain lutein and zeaxanthin (both prevent eye degeneration and
    help filter blue light which is most harmfull wavelength to your eyes when staring screen)

    Worst thing that you can do is set everything dark. It will slowly tire your eyes.
    And it's also depressing in my opinion :D

    If can't do the above then use blue light filtering screen (yeah looks dump, but hey at least your eyes are safe), blue light filtering eyeglasses
    or some app (like f.l.u.x.) that decrease your screen blue light.
