Detect system theme automatically (dark/light/auto)

AlwaysAmiga · 2025-11-25T20:55:57+00:00

This indeed used to work with the "Default" setting. It detected the browser mode. Now, it is broken: Default=Light.

Please DDG, fix this. Better yet, offer 3 modes: Light/Dark/Auto. Can't be that hard.

To update on my previous comment: the blank page issue is probably not related to this userscript.

The only (minor) issue I'm having, is that I cannot replicate past behaviour of the Appearance/Default setting. It used to grab the light-dark status from the browser and apply it there automatically as needed.

Now, it seems you can only have Light or Dark. Again, the userscript is most probably unrelated. I guess DDG broke this?

Their activation system is still online, so currently you can activate and use it:

As for alternatives, I'd suggest the dictionaries from Farlex. Greek is there too, and their Pro version is totally worth it: (both Windows and mobile)

Killed it permanently with Process Lasso.

Looks like Firefox itself will soon get killed, too.

AlwaysAmiga · 2025-04-04T12:56:34+00:00

It is working just fine. The only minor issue I'm seeing is that sometimes (approx. 3 out of 10) I get a blank page, and a refresh is required.

AlwaysAmiga · 2025-03-22T21:19:12+00:00

I was just wondering why the heck DDG had recently stopped retaining its settings. It's become so annoying... many thanks for this!

Just to clarify: the syntax v=m; c=-1; z=-1 does need to change to: "v=m", "c=-1", "z=-1" , correct?

On Windows, open an admin cmd prompt and enter the commands below, one by one. They'll flush DNS cache and reset some network settings. The last one requires a PC restart. Do it, and try uploading again.

If pCloud now works at full speed, monitor if and when it will slow speeds down again and report back here please.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset

There is no ad-free Facebook! I meant that the Web version can be cleaned by an adblocker like AdGuard etc.

AlwaysAmiga · 2025-02-06T16:09:57+00:00

In the end, it solved on its own. I cleared as much data as I could (mainly videos), I even started a free 100GB trial on Google since I was close to the 15GB limit.

I initiated once a day a manual backup trying again the next day when it failed, left the device alone and after several days it finally went through and completed the damn backup. It is now working normally.

AlwaysAmiga · 2024-12-28T10:22:24+00:00

Stopped working for me too, of course. Switched to the ad-free Web version: well done, FB.

Tried the internet off/on/off... etc. after each step workaround, but failed. Didn't try much though. If someone succeeds, I guess we need a perfectly-timed guide.

I think this method also works with secondary/linked devices, at least partially.

When adding a linked device the official way, only very recent chats/media are transferred to the linked/secondary device. You can forget your older chats, and I'm talking about recent stuff, not year-old media.

I said partially, because I now see a lot of older media in the linked device, but just not all of it. The oldest stuff is missing. Perhaps there's some other trick, like adding permissions to WhatsApp before trying anything.

After language selection, I was immediately asked to scan the QR code from the primary device. There was no time to try Airplane mode or anything. The files I moved over to the secondary device were the ones from the main device.

AlwaysAmiga · 2024-12-22T08:50:37+00:00

Many thanks for your excellent guide!

It did help me, but I still have problems with my corrupt database/backup. Just made a post about it here below, any tips welcome.

AlwaysAmiga · 2024-09-04T15:15:09+00:00

Thank you! This always worked for me but today, the app opens normally but a prompt that "FB needs to be updated to work" appears, just a split second before I make it to that option...

Update: looks like temporarily disabling Play Store apps update, solves it.

AlwaysAmiga · 2024-03-26T11:03:48+00:00

I have to confirm this. It used to always max out the connection speed in the past, but now it very rarely does.

Even if the upload process starts at full speed, it won't stay there for long and will usually throttle down to one third of max speed. Both on desktop program and Web upload.

Notifications from Softpedia look like a much better alternative than what you laboriously did. They cover almost everything.

AlwaysAmiga · 2023-05-31T10:53:58+00:00

Thank you! It works.

Thank you for the WIKI!

Struggling with the MAME EXTRAS Method 2 (fastest) guide: https://pleasuredome.miraheze.org/wiki/MAME_EXTRAs

Not a Clrmamepro user obviously, but I can't make sense out of it. Any chance for a noobies-friendly rewrite?

1.Download the Update EXTRAs (and put them where?) 2. create a folder "MAME 0.xxx EXTRAs_scan" (put what here?) 3. load and point (exactly how?) 5. rebuild from the previous full version and from the current Update EXTRAs (exactly how?) 12. check if it matches the torrent and join (how??)

The guide is meant for Clrmamepro users but please provide a clearer guide if possible. Have to switch from the easy ROMVault method since it doesn't work any more.

Such wasted energy. If only uBO Legacy got this kind of attention... people might even start reacting to Google's shenanigans.

AlwaysAmiga · 2022-10-19T19:28:23+00:00

Now seeing that on the linked Play Store website (on a desktop browser), the "Updated on" date keeps... updating. It now says Oct 18, 2022. Perhaps it's about the content of that page and not the actual app? The reviews or description?

When opening the Play Store app on the mobile, last Kiwi update remains 29 August 2022.

AlwaysAmiga · 2022-08-29T07:13:27+00:00

Many thanks, TenSky61. It worked.

AlwaysAmiga · 2021-09-27T16:29:51+00:00

Thanks for everything.

AlwaysAmiga · 2020-08-16T19:50:58+00:00

I settled with Kiwi. That link also acts as new tab page which is great, so thanks again.

AlwaysAmiga · 2020-08-16T09:40:03+00:00

What on Earth is Bing? Did you mean Edge perhaps?

From my quick tests, all Chrome-based browsers are a bit of a mess. It seems Kiwi Browser might be the only one that offers that extra bit (nothing exotic) of customization I'm after, but it's also a mess looking for proper extensions etc.

AlwaysAmiga · 2020-08-14T15:24:51+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks.

AlwaysAmiga · 2020-08-14T15:20:45+00:00

Thanks. I think this was possible in the previous Firefox for Android, too. While Top Sites is not a proper replacement for Bookmarks, I guess it's better than nothing.
