Switching to Google Chrome’s dark mode is not only simple but also worthwhile. It provides a few benefits for Google’s web browser, but mobile users will benefit even more. Using dark mode will help to extend the life of your phone’s battery.
Google has confirmed that using a darker interface instead of those bright, white ones, requires less energy, especially if you’re using something with an OLED display because the black pixels there are completely turned off.
While it’s still debatable, using dark mode may improve your sleep by exposing you to less blue light. After all, too much blue light can disrupt your circadian rhythm.
How to Enable Google Chrome Dark Mode on Windows 10
It takes two steps to enable dark mode in Chrome on Windows 10. To begin, change the global appearance of your Windows operating system to dark. This will essentially darken Chrome’s settings menu. Then, to customize the rest of Chrome’s interface, you’ll need to use one of the browser’s dark themes.
Follow the steps below to change your Windows appearance to dark mode:
- In the lower-left corner of the screen, click the Windows icon.
- Select the Settings option. It’s the second icon above the Windows logo, the one that looks like a cog.
- From the main menu, select Personalization.
- Colors can be found in the left-hand menu.
- Select your color from the drop-down menu. Choose Custom. This allows you to select a different tone for the Windows system and apps.
- It is necessary to set a darker tone for your Google Chrome experience. Set your app’s default mode to Dark.
Add a Dark Theme in Chrome
Now that you’ve made the Chrome menus dark, it’s time to change the browser’s layout.
- On your computer, launch Google Chrome.
- Click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome, then select Settings.
- Click Appearance in the left-hand menu.
- From the main screen, select Themes. If you already have a Chrome theme, this will take you to the theme’s page in the Chrome Web Store. To go directly to the store’s theme section, click on this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/themes.
I hope you can now easily enable dark mode in your Google Chrome browser. It is always recommended to use dark themes or backgrounds, especially if you use the computer for an extended period of time or at night. In any case, how will you enable Dark mode in Chrome on your Windows PC? Please let me know in the comments section.
