Deleted This flag is there from a very long time, It forces dark mode on websites, but the problem is, it's also forcing dark mode when using light theme. For complete info, can you look at this thre...
hussain5416 I guess the flag forces the dark theme on the web contents irrespective of the theme. It does not takes the current theme into consideration.
- Yes your guess is correct & that's the problem to be exact. why the hell someone wants dark web content and light theme browser? Light theme should follow light websites while dark should follow dark, as I already give in given link in op
hussain5416 Thanks for your feedback. In an ideal scenario: 1) how would you want this to work? And 2) could you see any instances where it would be helpful to have that universally dark theme, even if a user had previously selected a light theme?
And as one of our diligent Insiders, I'm sure you're well aware of this, but I want to gently reset expectations that anything behind a flag is still in an unfinished testing/experimental phase, even if it's been there for a while. 🙂

2.) Some users may want to use dark websites & light browser (don't know why) , so a toggle for that would work very nicely. But for the sake of common sense.... 'when the browser is light.... Web content should be light' & 'when browser is in dark mode..... Web content should be in dark mode'.
And yeah thanks for info about flags, but very fortunate of me, I knew that already 😅.
Note: There are many threads (actually nice threads) where users wants per website toggle to switch OFF/ON dark theme for those website which don't show properly when forced dark content (in dark mode). A toggle for that in 'sites setting' would be appreciated as well. 😏
