Chrome on Windows 10 To Get Dark Mode Feature Soon (hothardware.com)

Posted by msmash on Tuesday January 1, 2019 @06:01AM from the up-next dept.

Last year, Google pushed 'dark mode', a feature that replaces the shiny, whitespace background on a web page with a dark color, to its Android operating system and YouTube service. The company is now working to expand the feature to Chrome's Windows 10 application. Peter Kasting, a Chrome developer, confirmed the move in response to a user's query on a Reddit thread. He said a "native dark mode support is in progress" for Chrome's desktop application. Until then, reminded Kasting, "we generally suggest people use a dark theme" for Chrome via a third-party extension.

This page is a prime example of something in need of a dark mode.

There would be no need to implement a "dark mode" if google just used whatever color scheme a user has chosen in the windows control panel.
But no, they had to skin their own UI components over the top of the windows UI like stupid "bubbly interfaced" programs did in the 90's
You know what i'm talking about, the stupid shit like this that was all to common back then https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/66soci/windows_media_player_skins/
