You can enable dark mode in Google Chrome on your Android device to make browsing easier on the eyes, especially in low-light conditions.
To turn on Chrome’s dark theme, open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Then go to Settings and tap Theme.
You will see options such as Light, Dark, or System default. Select Dark to enable dark mode in Chrome. If you choose System default, Chrome will automatically match your phone’s system-wide theme.
Once enabled, Chrome’s interface, including menus and settings, will appear in dark colors.
If you also want websites to appear in dark mode, you can enable a forced dark mode feature. Type chrome://flags in the address bar, search for Force Dark Mode for Web Contents, and enable it. Then restart Chrome. This will attempt to display most websites in dark colors, although some pages may not render perfectly.
Turn on Dark theme
- On your Android device, open Chrome

- At the top right, tap More

Tip: Your browser may also appear dark if you're in Incognito mode. Learn more about browsing in private.
Additionally, many websites have their own dark mode settings, which you can enable individually.
In summary, you can browse in dark mode on Chrome for Android by selecting the dark theme in settings and optionally enabling forced dark mode for websites.
