How to use Dark Theme in Google Chrome
You enable Dark Theme in Google Chrome by changing your browser’s appearance settings to a darker color scheme, reducing eye strain in low light conditions.
Dark Theme makes the browser’s interface, including menus and toolbars, use dark backgrounds instead of bright whites, offering a more comfortable viewing experience, especially at night.
Google Chrome, built on the same engine as Microsoft Edge, defaults to your Windows system’s color scheme. You can override this to apply a dark theme directly within Chrome’s profile settings.
Google Chrome automatically uses your system’s theme. To enable a dark theme, go to Settings, then “You and Google,” and select a dark theme color under “Customize your Chrome profile.
Use the dark theme (mode) in Google Chrome
As mentioned above, there isn’t a standalone dark theme you can switch to in Google Chrome. Chrome uses your device’s default color and theme.
If you change your device’s color and theme to dark, Chrome switches to dark to match your device’s preferences.
Use the steps below to apply a dark theme.
First, open the Google Chrome browser.
Then click on the Customize and Control (3 vertical dots button) in the top right corner and select Settings.
On the Settings page, look for the You and Google link in the left-hand panel.
Select the “Customize your Chrome profile” tile on the right to expand it.
On your profile page, under “Pick a theme color,” select a theme color that matches your preferences.
When you change the theme color, it applies automatically.
That should do it!
