### Websites are not following the dark theme preference from the browser.

- *This "issue" comes from the `privacy.resistFingerprinting` feature from Firefox. While it improves privacy, it also has its drawbacks such as websites not following the appearance preference.*
- **Follow the screenshot showing where to disable it:**

<ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/cachy-browser-resist-fingerprint.png')} />
- *After disabling this parameter. Restart your browser and try again.*

### GitHub Homepage makes the browser unusable and extremely slow.

- *Cachy Browser due to it's nature of leaning towards privacy. Disables WebGL by default and GitHub depends on it for rendering their homepage*
- **Re-enable it as shown in the screenshot**

<ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/cachy-browser-webgl.png')} />
- *After disabling this parameter. Restart your browser and try again.*
*This recommendation also applies to websites that takes advantage of Hardware Acceleration via WebGL such as Photopea.*

### Your browser is being managed by your organization. Do i need to worry?

- *No. This is because we include a [policies file](https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-Browser-Settings/blob/master/distribution/policies.json) on which we disable features and add modifications to the browser. Example: `additional search engines.`*

### Some keyboard combinations are not working in certain websites like Photopea
### RFP (Resist Fingerprint Protection)

- *This "issue" comes from the `privacy.resistFingerprinting` feature from Firefox.
- **Follow the screenshot showing where to disable it:**
<br />
- Cachy Browser enables `privacy.resistFingerprinting` by default. While it improves privacy, it comes at the cost of some issues for users that are not aware such as the following ones:
- Rendering artifacts
- Dark theme not applying
- Unable to login in certain websites (Twitch)
- Some keybind combinations do not work

- To verify if this feature is the one causing the issue you are currently experiencing. Take a look to the following [Mozilla Article](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/resist-fingerprinting) and expand the **How might Resist Fingerprinting break web pages?** section.

*In order to disable RFP, go to `about:config` and search for **privacy.resistFingerprinting** and set it to `false`*

<br />
<ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/cachy-browser-resist-fingerprint.png')} />
- *After disabling this parameter. Restart your browser and the keyboard combinations should work again.*
- *Extra tip: Search for `webgl.disabled` and set it to `false` to take advantage of an improved Hardware Acceleration in Photopea.*
