Google Chrome has a feature called Dark Mode (or Dark Theme on Android devices) designed to provide a comfortable web browsing experience in low-light conditions. It changes the interface and elements including the homepage, toolbars, and settings to a dark color scheme to help reduce eye strain. It also helps extend battery life, but if you’re using a device with an OLED display, that’s more of a page case. Users on Android smartphones and iPhones, as well as Windows and Mac computers, can enable dark mode on the Chrome browser in just a few simple steps.
Since 2019, Chrome has offered a dedicated dark mode across devices. It’s coming to macOS first, followed by Android, Windows, and iPhone users.
