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.
To enable Forced Dark Mode in Chrome 78 and the latest one, follow these steps:
- Type to enter the given address in your browser URL bar: chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark
- You will see it the top a hidden Chrome settings menu and the Force Dark Mode feature
- Click on the Drop-down menu next to Force Dark Mode for Web Contents and select the Enabled option
- Click on the Relaunch button at the bottom to restart your browser
Chrome will close and relaunch the entire of your open web pages. Be sure to save any content on those pages—for instance, things you have typed in text boxes—before going to relaunch the browser. Relaunching or restart Chrome after enabling a flag.
Now browse and view how it works. If you do not like it, go back to Chrome’s Experiments screen page, by changing the option back to Default and relaunch the web browser Chrome will stop messing with websites colors after you turn off this option.
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. Some of them will even turn those images dar, invert light images. This will make images look different, of course, but it may be convenient if you wish a consistently dark desktop.
Do not feel compelled to enable the dark mode if you do not like it. The dark mode is trendy, but it may not actually be better for you. Despite that, we love the dark mode anyway.
