How to Force Dark Mode for All Websites in Chrome

As the versions of one of Google’s flagship products such as Chrome pass , the integrated functions do not stop growing. This is something that we have been able to see first hand in recent years.

An example is the forced dark mode that has recently been integrated into the search giant’s browser. Actually what this allows us is to be able to forcefully enable a dark theme for any website we visit. The funny thing about this is that that dark mode will take effect regardless of whether the website supports it or not.

Activate forced dark mode for web content in Chrome

To give us an idea of what we are talking about here, we will say that this dark mode does not refer to the one we have active in the operating system . At the same time it does not refer to the dark mode of the browser user interface, but rather to the content of the website. In this way, if we prefer to read those contents that we are talking about with a dark background, this will be of great help to us.

Actualizar Chrome

We mean that being able to use forced dark mode will be a very useful function, although it is something that we will have to enable manually. Therefore, below we will show you how we can carry out this change. Thus, the first thing will be to obtain the latest version of the Google browser , so we will only have to update.

This is something that we achieve by accessing the program’s own menu and we are located in Chrome Help / Information. So what we achieve is that the program itself looks for the latest updates to install them on our computer. This is a process that is carried out automatically, so after restarting, we will have the latest version. Next we have to enable the mentioned dark mode in Chrome .

Of course, keep in mind that this mode will affect the appearance of the websites we visit. However, it will not affect the appearance of the operating system or the interface of the browser itself. Therefore, to activate this function in Chrome 78 and later, in the address bar we enter the following: chrome: // flags / # enable-force-dark. Then the program’s flags page will appear on the screen, where we see the entry Force Dark Mode for Web Contents.

Get all websites to support dark mode

Therefore we will have to activate this flag in the corresponding drop-down list, where we select the Enabled option. We only have to restart the browser for the changes to take effect. To give us an idea of how this works, we will tell you that this is a functionality that what it does is invert the color of the websites to its opposite.

Some websites have their own default dark mode , so using this feature will automatically activate them in Chrome. By contrast, for those without dark mode, the browser will force it by reversing certain colors from now on. Of course, if we do not like the results obtained with the change, we can always reverse them. For this, it is enough that we load the same commented flag and leave it as it was, in Default mode.
