Google Chrome Dark Mode: Here’s how to enable it for all websites

Google Chrome comes with a pre-installed dark mode, which certain websites can automatically switch to if the site supports it. However, most websites do not have any type of dark mode.

To avoid waiting for websites to catch up, Chrome has introduced a new feature called "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents," which will change all bright websites to dark mode.

This solution is not as aesthetically pleasing as waiting for websites to create their own dark themes, but it will apply dark mode to all websites.


Enabling the "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents" option in Chrome does not enable dark mode for the Chrome browser itself. To enable dark mode for Chrome, you need to activate the dark mode option for your operating system.

For instance, on Windows 10, go to Settings > Personalization > Colors, and then choose "Dark" under "Choose Your Default App Mode." On macOS, you can simply navigate to System Preferences > General and activate the dark mode.


If you want to try out this option, it has been available as a hidden flag since Chrome 78, and it still works on Chrome 103 as of July 2022. However, since it is an experimental option, it may change or be removed at any time. It could eventually graduate to a proper option on Chrome's Settings screen or disappear entirely.

How to enable Dark Mode in Google Chrome?

• Launch Google Chrome
• Type "chrome://flags" in address bar and hit Enter
• Search for "dark mode" in the search box at the top of the Experiments page.
• Click the box to the right of "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and select "Enabled" as the default setting

You can then browse the web and see how it works. If you don't like it, you can always go back to Chrome's Experiments screen, change the option back to "Default," and relaunch the browser. Disabling this option will stop Chrome from altering website colors.
