Accessing content on your device in dark mode reduces eye strain as it reduces blue light exposure. While Google Chrome doesn’t have a dark mode setting, you can use its dark theme feature instead or adjust your device’s settings. Sadly, those workarounds don’t work with all sites. The good news is that you can force dark mode on all websites on Chrome. Continue reading to find out how.
There are two easy ways to force dark mode on Google Chrome using the desktop. The first method is to use an experimental built-in feature called flags, which can also be used to force dark mode on Android. Another way is to use Google Chrome’s ability to extend functions by installing third-party extensions. Let’s start with the easier one.
Note: You can’t force dark mode on Chrome if you’re using an iPhone.
1. Use Flags to Switch Chrome to Dark Mode
Flags on Google Chrome is an experimental set of features for developers to test tools on Google Maps. However, some of these flags can help improve Chrome’s performance, add more functionality, and be fun to use.
One of these flags helps to force dark mode on Google Chrome for all websites. Here’s how to turn it on and use it. However, some elements may appear slightly as this is an experimental feature.
Note: Before continuing with the steps, make sure you’ve updated Chrome to the latest version as we’ll be using a flag.
I. On Chrome desktop app
Step 1: Open Google Chrome.
Step 2: Type or copy and paste the following text into the address bar and press Enter.
chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark
Step 3: Click the drop-down menu for the Automatic Dark Mode flag for web content and select Enabled.
Step 4: Now, tap on the Relaunch button to restart Chrome.
II. On Chrome Android app
While dark mode is available on the Chrome app for Android devices, it may sometimes not work for certain websites. This is how you can force dark mode for all websites.
Step 1: Open the Google Chrome app and go to chrome://flags.
Step 2: Click Search flags and type dark.
You will see two options: ‘Auto dark mode for web content’ and ‘dark websites checkbox in theme settings’.
Step 3: Tap the drop-down menu and select enabled for both options.
Step 4: Now, launch the Chrome app again. It will appear in dark mode.
Optional: Open Chrome > tap the three-dot icon > Settings > Themes > Dark. This will automatically darken the content of the web page.
All web pages and elements in Google Chrome will appear in dark mode on your Android desktop and devices. If you can’t find the flag, you may be running a version of Chrome that doesn’t support the same. So you can use the alternative method explained in the next section.
2. Use Third-Party Chrome Extensions to Force Dark Mode
Extensions are quite useful and have helped us enhance our experience on Google Chrome in many ways. So it’s no surprise that there is an extension to force dark mode on Google Chrome. This extension is called the Super Dark Mode extension. Here’s how to install and use the extension.
Step 1: Visit the Chrome Web Store Super Dark Mode extension’s page from the link below.
Step 2: Click Add to Chrome > Add extension.
Step 3: Now close Google Chrome and open it again.
Step 4: To activate the extension, click on the extension icon and select the Super Dark Mode extension.
This activates the extension. You can see dark mode reflected on all elements on Google Chrome.
However, if you feel the color is not pleasing to the eye – don’t worry. This extension offers a number of customization options that can be useful.
Step 5: To customize the extension, click on the extension icon > the three-dot icon next to it > select Options.
Step 6: Select the ‘General Dark Themes’ option in the sidebar. To modify the color scheme, select the ‘Modern’ theme.
Step 7: Next, select Advanced Settings Panel on the sidebar. On the right, adjust the brightness of the dark mode theme using the built-in slider.
We hope this helped you force dark mode on Google Chrome and apply it to all websites and elements on Chrome. However, if you have any further questions, you can check out our FAQs section below.

Hello Darkness, our old friend
We hope this article helped you force dark mode on all websites on Google Chrome. However, some websites can still break – there’s not much you can do in this situation unless the developers update the UI to be compatible with dark mode.
Let’s hope Google adds a built-in feature to enable dark mode in such a way that all elements remain consistent with the color scheme.
