Default Account (ID: 0000004386cd093e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/13/2018 When you open a new tab, the view allways falls back to the default. Which is quite anoying to change the setting from every tab. I rather would turn the function on and off for all tabs together. Eventually, I want to have the browser dark or bright, not really on tab dark one tab bright as it is now.
