I can confirm that we are rolling out this feature to a small number of Chrome M74 users now, and that it will become more widely available in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to reach out, and for your enthusiasm! According to a Chrome Community Manager, Google is rolling out the feature gradually.

It is worth mentioning that the night mode support in Windows 10 may not be available for everyone.

In case of Linux, Chrome now tries to detect the theme of the desktop environment and match accordingly. With the release of version 74 via stable channel, Google Chrome finally brought the native dark mode to Windows 10 users. Like Mozilla, their implementation was also tightly couple with underlying operating system, such as native dark mode of Windows 10 or macOS Mojave. Meanwhile, the development team behind Google Chrome introduced a similar feature in canary channel back in February 2019. Major browsers like Mozilla Firefox already supports native night mode which can be controlled manually or via OS settings.

As an added bonus, using dark mode paired with AMOLED display can save a huge amount of power – even Google acknowledged that. Compared to LCD, AMOLED screens can produce the ‘true’ black as the corresponding pixels are basically turned off.Īs a consequence, the display becomes much crisp and does not put extra pressure on eyesight, especially when users are accustomed to interact with their gadgets 24/7. The increasing usage of AMOLED screens in portable devices (such as phones) is a prime factor behind the rush towards dark/night mode. The definition of user experience indeed varies between people, but modern usage scenarios do add extra bias towards dark mode. I’m not gonna start with those endless light themed apps (including IDEs) memes, though one can’t simply neglect the advantages of a sleek, blackish themed environment.
