If you’re not up for testing out the dark theme for yourself in Chrome OS, check out the gallery above for an idea of what it will look like. AndroidPolice notes that there are a few rough edges with the current implementation such as a white title bar still showing in many apps, some icons not being adapted, and support for Android apps not being added, so these issues will need to be addressed before the feature is enabled by default. You no longer have to be on some Dev or Beta channel of the Chrome OS to use a dark mode. Seeing a dark theme appear in the Chrome OS Canary channel bodes well for a wider release, although it's unclear when that may be. Chromebook system-wide dark mode is now effortless to enable and use. Google has, however, been working to bring a dark theme to the other devices and OSes across its portfolio, including on Google Assistant Smart Displays and, of course, on Android.

Other major desktop operating systems from Microsoft and Apple have offered dark themes for some time, so Google is a little behind in implementing a dark mode of its own. Of course, the software will still function the same, but users will finally have the option to use the sleeker, more stealthy mode.

Turning on the dark theme in Chrome OS results in a dramatically different experience, one that should be much easier on the eyes in situations with little to no light. Yes, Google Chrome does offer a built-in Dark Mode for you to take advantage of.
