This is a Brute-Force Solution

The built-in dark mode feature is already available in Google Chrome. But other websites can switch to dark mode if you are using it, assuming the site supports this. But most sites do not have automatic dark mode–or any dark mode.

Instead of waiting for millions of websites to bounce on the dark mode bandwagon, Chrome’s feature of “Force Dark Mode for Web Contents” option will enable entire those bright websites dark. It is a little like using “Smart Invert” on an iPhone–light colors will turn bright, but it will leave.

This is a brute-force solution, and it will not be as beautiful as waiting for websites to turn their own shiny new dark themes. But it will enable the web dark everywhere. Before, you could download and install browser extensions that automatically turned light websites dark. Now, it is built into Chrome.

How to Force Dark Mode on All Websites

If you want to try it out? This feature is available as a hidden flag in Chrome 78 and later. Like all flags, it is an experimental option that may be removed or change at any time you want. It one day may graduate to a correct option on Chrome’s Settings screen, or it may vanish completely. To be clear, this feature of Dark mode strictly affects the look of a website. It doesn’t affect your OS’s dark mode or the Chrome browser’s own interface. For example, Dowpie.com does not natively introduce a dark mode. Our website has a predominantly white theme with red text. But, with Force Dark Mode, you can view Dowpie.com and every other website with a white text and dark background.

You can also try other features of Force Dark Mode options in step 3 above. The various modes will produce multiple results on web pages.
