Chrome 74 Is Now Available Though Not Too Exciting For Linux Users

I did know that for the latest Firefox browser, but the Pale Moon browser uses really old Firefox UI as base.

It's also malware, son of insanity and chaos. Why you would want to use malware browser?

Please tell me what will occur to websites that render white text on a black background by default under conditions.

There'll be an error due to the theme engine dividing by zero that will cause a portal in your monitor will open up to an alternate dimension. If it's the alternate dimension where my cat hides my hair ties I'd appreciate a shout out...damn thieving ass cat...

Or it'll just render as expected like uid313 showed.

After this news, I took a look at some extension to modify websites to mach the dark theme. This one seems to work very well: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader

It is opensource, available in both Firefox and Chrome extension repos and so far only misconfigure colors in a couple places, nothing terrible.

As Chrome/Chromium goes, so goes Vivaldi, Brave, and soon Internet Explorer.

Well it up to the style sheet (CSS) defined by that website. If the website's style sheet does not define a rule for dark theme, then it looks exactly the same as it always normally do.

Here is an example.

@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  body {
    background: white;
    color: black;
  }
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  body {
    background: black;
    color: white;
  }
}

Dark mode is not for the widgets and browser UI.
Dark mode is a new CSS query so that websites can define how their websites will look under dark mode.
So you can have a website have black text on white background normally, but when it detects the user is using dark mode, the website is rendered with white text on black background.

I do like the Chrome UI more than the Firefox UI. The integrated row with tabs and window buttons is a clever solution to maximize the rendering area.

In the latest Firefox, you can use the same layout Chrome uses for tabs. Also, the traditional layout has a compact mode that leaves it using the same height as Chrome.

AV1 decoding is available only for x86 devices since now, by chrome.

I'm still not sure what you mean.

They say "Chrome Desktop x86 devices", so that's more or less anything that isn't Android.

You can enable this on Firefox and also Thunderbird too.
