Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers due to its user-friendly interface and robust features. One of these includes the dark mode, which is a user interface display option that turns the lighter surfaces on the screen to darker ones. This can reduce eye strain and help save battery power on certain devices. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to activate the dark mode on Google Chrome.
For Windows Users
Follow these easy steps to activate dark mode on Google Chrome for Windows:
- Go to Settings by clicking on the Start Menu.
- Click on Personalization.
- Then tap on Colors.
- Scroll down and find the ‘Choose your default app mode’ section.
- Select Dark.
Please note that this will change the theme of all your applications to dark mode, not just Google Chrome.
For macOS Users
To activate dark mode on Google Chrome for macOS, follow these steps:
- Click on the Apple menu and select System Preferences.
- Click on General.
- Under the Appearance section, click on Dark.
Likewise, this will change the theme of all your applications to dark mode, not just Google Chrome.
Using a Google Chrome Extension
If you’d prefer to keep the dark mode limited to Google Chrome only, and not affect the other applications on your system, consider using a Google Chrome extension like Dark Reader.
To install this extension, follow these steps:
- Open Google Chrome and go to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for the Dark Reader extension.
- Click on ‘Add to Chrome’.
- Once the extension is added, click on its icon on the top right corner of your browser.
- Toggle the switch on.
Now, every website you visit using Google Chrome will display in dark mode. You can also customize the brightness, contrast, sepia, and grayscale settings to your preference.
That’s it! We hope you find this guide useful in making your browsing experience more comfortable with Google Chrome’s dark mode. Happy browsing!
