We’ve reported that Chrome on Windows 10 will get dark mode support, and you can able to force dark mode on the browser by running it with a command line swich. We’ve provided updates that Chrome’s New Tab page, history, downloads page have gone dark and Chromium developers have worked to ensure remaining parts of browser appear black as well by today and news is Chrome Canary 74 is now supports Windows 10 dark mode and honors light and dark mode setting available in Personalization settings.
What this means is while Canary is open if you’ve set app default mode to light, Canary appears with system light theme and turns to dark instantly when you choose dark mode setting, check the animation below to see that in action.
What’s your take on this development as you no longer need to run Chrome with flags to see browser in dark mode? This change has been available in Canary 74 and according to Chrome Platform status, version 74 will be released on April 23, 2019, i.e. 75 days from now.
Update: Forgot to mention Canary supports Dark mode of Mac OS Mojave too.
