Hi, Mr. T. I couldn't find the perfect theme extension for IceCat Mobile from Mozilla Addons, but there is only one that does work for me, though it only paints the address bar gray, but not the menus or settings pages:
Dark Theme for Android & PC https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/dark-theme-android-pc/ Version 68.4.2 of IceCatMobile is old, and its rendering engine is much slower than that of the latest version of Firefox, and some sites no longer support it: For example, the "more extensions by user" section at Mozilla Addons won't load information, and the placeholder spans continue to animate; GitHub always supports the very latest version of Firefox, and relies on the latest functionality; the desktop version of YouTube has a somewhat mangled design, which loads slowly anyway. The saving grace of IceCat Mobile 68.x is the support of a greater number of WebExtensions, the presence of about:config, and maybe a few other things. With regard to the possibility of enabling dark mode on sites by default and in the browser UI, I've added the following settings in about:config — Integers: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme;1 widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style;4 Booleans: userChrome.theme.fully_dark;true userContent.page.dark_mode;true widget.content.allow-gtk-dark-theme;true widget.disable-dark-scrollbar;false widget.gtk.alt-theme.dark;true widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.active-always-themed;true widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.dark-themed;true The above settings for UI in about:config don't seem to work, as they are far too new for IceCat Mobile 68.4. Neither is there any guarantee, that IceCat 68 will be able to make these site-oriented settings work, or that sites that use conditional dark mode in CSS, would be able to detect browser-based dark mode settings in this version of IceCat. I've kept the settings anyway. Other dark extensions do not work in this browser version: the "Native Dark" extension, and some themes, such as Dark Theme for Firefox, Arc Dark Theme, and a number of others. Interestingly enough, "Dark Mysterious Forest" works in Fennec F-Droid 68.12.0esr. Most other "dark theme" extensions paint individual websites. Global Dark Style paints all sites dark, and one can disable certain domains. There is also Dark Reader. I haven't tried those out. Some individual extensions, such as NoScript and uBlock Origin, have dark theme support for themselves. Here's a list of extensions that I use: NoScript Stylus uBlock Origin I've added links for all the other WebExtensions, because Mozilla's own search facility does not display them. Custom UserAgent String (clunky UI, but works) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/custom-user-agent-revived/ MobiDevTools (vaguely similar to FireBug, and to Firefox developer tools) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/mobidevtools/ Privacy Settings https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/privacy-settings/ Work with URLs (urls paths opener obfuscate decode) [sic] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/workwithurls/ Video Background Play Fix — this is important when playing YouTube and switching to other apps, or when the lock screen appears. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/ View Page Source Mobile https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-page-source-mobile/ I can also suggest CleanLinks, which cleans up URLs of tracking codes when copying them, but I haven't tried it out. Return YouTube Dislike — While this extension will install in mobile IceCat 68.x, and while it may have worked there at one time or another, then it no longer seems to work in that version of IceCat, either with mobile YouTube, or with the desktop version of YouTube. This extension works only in desktop Firefox or derivatives. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/return-youtube-dislikes/ A note about Fennec F-Droid 68.12.0esr and IceCatMobile 68.4: Besides version differences, Fennec F-Droid, while newer, uses an animated progress bar, which slows down rendering in really old smartphones, while I haven't noticed progress bar animations in IceCat Mobile. -M. 2023-01-08 23:31 GMT +02:00, Mr. T <t...@treaki.tk>: > Hi, > > thanks a lot, finally a mobile browser that allows all addons like the > old firefox versions and not just a hand full of selected add-ons that > are not quite enough. > > > I hate mozilla for always trashing good stuff like rss support, ftp > support and now mobile addon support, thankfully there are people who > care about real free software ;) > > > but there is one thing i miss on the installed icecat mobile version > 68.4.2 (is this really the latest version, fdroid dosnt provide a later > one but release date 2020 seams a bit old) > > and that is dark mode, there is no way to set it and its also not > enabled when enabled system wide, i like to browse in the evening before > sleeping in while lying in bed so its a must have for me to have a dark > as possible UI, dark reader could be installed successfully but the url > bar is much to bright.
