Right from Google Play Store to the features like Google Assistant, Google has introduced Dark Modes for various apps in the past. Now, Google has rolled out this Dark Mode feature for Google Search on Desktop.
As Google has started testing dark mode for Search on desktop, it’s available to select users, and it works with the system theme on your desktop. This means if your system’s theme is set to dark then your Google Search should automatically switch to dark theme.
Google has confirmed to The Verge that it is testing dark mode for Search on desktop but it hasn’t given a specific date for a wider rollout.

How to enable the ‘dark mode’ feature:
- Users will first get a notification at the corner on the page saying “Dark theme is now available”.
- You can enable it by clicking on ‘Turn on’, which will switch the search page to Dark.
- Once enabled, you will have the option to set it either to Light, Dark, or System Default.

- To do this enter Chrome://flags on the address bar. Type ‘Dark Mode’.
- Enable the Force Dark Mode for Web Contents and relaunch Chrome.
