how to put google chrome in dark mode

To put Google Chrome in dark mode, you can follow these steps depending on your device and how deep you want the dark mode to apply:

For Desktop (Windows/macOS)

Basic Dark Mode for Chrome Interface:

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click the three dots menu (top-right corner).
3. Select Settings.
4. Go to Appearance.
5. Under Theme , click the link and select Dark. This changes Chrome’s interface (tabs, toolbar, menus) to dark mode

Alternatively, on Windows or macOS, you can enable dark mode system-wide, and Chrome will follow that setting for its interface:

• On Windows: Right-click desktop > Personalize > Colors > Choose Dark.
• On macOS: Apple menu > System Preferences > General > Appearance > Select Dark

Force Dark Mode for All Websites: To make websites themselves display in dark mode (not just Chrome’s UI), you need to enable an experimental feature:

1. In Chrome’s address bar, type chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark and press Enter.
2. Find Force Dark Mode for Web Contents.
3. Set it to Enabled from the dropdown.
4. Relaunch Chrome.

This forces all websites to render in dark mode by inverting colors or applying dark themes, which works even on sites that don’t natively support dark mode

For Android Devices

1. Open Chrome app.
2. Tap the three dots menu > Settings.
3. Tap Theme.
4. Choose Dark to enable dark mode for Chrome and supported websites

Summary

Step| Effect| Applies To
---|---|---
Chrome Settings > Appearance > Theme = Dark| Dark UI (tabs, toolbar, menus)| Chrome interface only
System Dark Mode (Windows/macOS)| Dark UI follows system setting| Chrome interface only
chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark > Enable| Force dark mode on all websites| Websites + Chrome UI
Android Chrome Settings > Theme = Dark| Dark UI + supported websites| Chrome app + some sites

By combining these, you can get a full dark mode experience in Google Chrome across your device and websites
