After Google Chrome for macOS is confirmed to receive a dark mode update sometime this year, Google is also preparing to release a similar feature on Chrome for Windows 10. Apple enabled system-wide dark mode with macOS 10.14 Mojave.
Following in the footsteps of Apple, Microsoft also enabled
system-wide dark mode with Windows 10 October 2018 update turning it on for
apps like Office. Now, it’s time for Google to provide Chrome for Windows 10
users with a similar update putting it on par with Microsoft Edge and Mozilla
Firefox.
Testers can try out a new dark mode in Chrome Canary starting
today. A bug report reveals Google Chrome for Windows 10 has been working on
embracing dark mode since at least May 2017.

According to comments found in Chromium’s Gerrit source code
management, Microsoft’s Windows 10 was supported to receive dark mode update
alongside macOS, according to reports. However, developers reportedly had to
pause the progress due to certain flaws.
Google Chrome Canary’s feature is available for Windows
including older versions such as Windows 7.
The dark mode can be enabled by navigating to Chrome Canary
shortcut > Properties > Add “ –force-dark-mode.” Since the feature is
currently in testing, we don’t know for sure when it will go live for all
Google Chrome for Windows 10 users.
