Hi all, anyone know why I suddenly have this issue below, the reply box is black and when I type I see nothing, I have to take it off the rich text editor to get rid of the black background this has only been an issue since I ditched chrome for opera last night.
It's a browser issue. Typically happens when they try to match ui elements to whatever app/system light/dark mode setting you have. It almost never works well in my experience. The option is called 'Force Dark Pages' in opera and can be disbaled entirely or on a per site basis in the browser options.
I was using Chrome but it just makes me angry, search settings have just been randomly changing, for example if a open a new tab all is good, then next day I go to open a new tab and the + button to do so is on the opposite side of the screen and when I press it rather than opening a new tab it wants to override the existing one. Then a few days later it is back to normal, then the process repeats again. Don't know if these are updates being pushed and reverted or not but I know there are a lot of angry android chrome users out there. I have not been able to find anything about this issue so have just given up and given chrome the middle finger. Saw a review site that said opera is next best so rolled with that.
I've not noticed that issue with new tabs. I always just either open bookmarked tabs or a new tab to search on. I have Chrome and Bing on my phone because I'm a "crazy rw'er" and some of what I search Google won't allow me to view I should be using Duck Duck Go so I've been told but lazy and find what I want from these 2 engines.
Yeah that is what I do about new tabs but now it doesn't open a new one when I select that, instead it uses one of the tabs I already have open and returns it to the home page so I lose what I was previously on. Same with bookmarked ones, it will override whatever was the last page I was on, am over it, has been going on and off lime this for months now I have not changed any settings at all to have caused this to happen.
Oh, I have no issues opening new tabs, saved bookmarks or duplicating tabs,. I wonder what is up with your Chrome.
Lucky for some! I have given up on it. Opera seems pretty cool, except for this black background on the reply screen I get.
First photo shows one of my 2 current tabs open in chrome Second photo shows my two tabs open in chrome Final shot shows what happens when I press plus to add new tab, it does not add a new tab, there are still two of them. I get the option to stay on my current page or search for something new in this tab not in a new 3rd tab.
Why not use good and solid Firefox? No issues and supports a selection of browser extensions? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
A review site I saw rated opera above Firefox so thought I would roll with it. Not sure if I am too fussed about extensions. I used to run Firefox on my PC and found it sluggish and resource heavy so dropped it from that.
