Tor browser uses dark mode by default
Is this a recent change? I missed it.
For me it’s dark mode by default. 🤔 I use MacOS but I think it should be the same on all operating systems.
I get light mode on Tor Browser for Android:
Browser supports prefers-color-scheme: yes
Browser exposes prefers-color-scheme as: light
This website always reports light for me as well, same goes for manually checking with JavaScript. I think that value gets spoofed regardless of the enabled theme.
Relevant issues:
Edit: added another relevant issue
So does that mean dark mode is not the browser default? I only linked to this website because it's the most specific, but I also tried duckduckgo and a couple other sites, which all also loaded in light mode.
It’s the default (as in default selected theme) for desktop. I’m not sure if that’s the case for Android, I unfortunately don’t own an Android phone currently to check.
The prefers-color-scheme being reported as light seems to be coming from Firefox’s resist fingerprinting feature (which is always enabled on Tor browser).
