How to turn on dark mode in Chrome for Android

sketchy

[br] [br][br][br][br]Samsung did it, Huawei did it, and Google and Apple will be employing it in the 2019 versions of their venerable mobile operating systems - dark mode needs no presentation, as anyone who has woken up in the middle of the night to read something on their phone would attest. [br][br]Not only does it save your retinas from burning when ambient light is low but is also a godsend for OLED displays which consume way less power when displaying darker colors.[br][br]Google is not content to simply offer a dark mode option for its launcher and default apps, or provide a way for developers to turn on a generic one automatically. [br][br]You can force it on your own over third-party apps as well, if you so desire, even those that haven't thought about it yet. Just go to Android Q's Settings ] System ] Developer options, search for the "Override force-dark" switch, turn it on, and watch the magic happen.[br][br]The magic won't happen for Google Chrome, though, no matter how much you'd like to darken its retina-piercing white background at night. [br][br]Every website is different and a universal approach to the browser background could wreak havoc on your viewing experience. Or so went the official explanation for the lack of dark mode on mobile Chrome.[br][br]The tide is turning, however, and with the spring betas of Chromium, Google snuck a way to unleash the darkness, as long as you are running a version 74 or higher of Chrome for Android. [br][br]Unfortunately, since forcing dark theme on websites is a hit-or-miss affair, as you will attest for yourself, Google hasn't provided an easy toggle in the browser's settings, so you'd have to hack your way through a bit.[br][br] [br][br][br]1. Go ahead and type or paste chrome://flags into the Chrome address bar to go into the experimental browser features page;[br][br]2. A search for "dark mode" from the top bar will return two entries at the top - "Android Chrome UI dark mode" and "Android web contents dark mode";[br][br]3. Switch both options from "default" to "enabled" with the drop-down menu under each description;[br][br]4. You'll be prompted to relaunch the Chrome browser, and it will redraw the interface and any open pages into a dark theme with dark background for your viewing pleasure.[br][br] [br]
