Paul_VC have you tried disabling the edge://flags/#enable-force-dark flag? The new Dev/Beta builds should have full access to flags, including this one.

I set that flag to Disabled (Edge Canary latest version on Android 11), and it does not solve it. Websites are still always rendered in Dark Mode).

Paul_VC As with most things related to how webpages are rendered, this appears to be behavior we inherit from Chromium (thus why that flag doesn't have Edge in it's name), and it doesn't appear that there's a way to do this in Chrome either, at least as far as I can tell, so this is likely something we'll have to work on ourselves if people request it. It shouldn't be too hard though since it just needs a switch!

Josh, I tested this on the Google Chrome browser on Android, and setting the edge://flags/#enable-force-dark flag to Disabled (as per your earlier suggestion) does indeed do what it is supposed to do: it keeps the original content colors, even when the browser UI or Android system UI is set to Dark Mode.
Setting the edge://flags/#enable-force-dark flag to Disabled still converts website content to Dark Mode, whereas it should not, so this is a bug in Edge.- josh_bodnerSep 10, 2021Former EmployeeAh, that's a different story then. Let me ask the team if this is something we're tracking since that's not a flag we own.
- Paul_VCSep 02, 2021Steel ContributorGood to hear it shouldn't be too hard. Looking forward to its implementation then. 😉
