Chrome: Google will reserve dark mode for macs at first, why so much hate?

Dark mode will indeed be a reality in Chrome. XDA Community Developers found new information about it. However, we won’t be breaking the champagne too quickly, as only macOS users will be affected, at least initially. Chrome developers are adding a “dark mode” to the search giant’s popular web browser. would be available in version 71 for Mac It is scheduled to be released on December 4, 2018.

Chrome: dark mode will land on macs first

It’s strange that Google prefers macOS to Android and Windows in this way. There may be a link with macOS 10.14 that lets you implement an OS-wide dark mode. And it’s no secret that historically app developers have always preferred iOS to Android, even Google is no exception to this rule and proves it once again. Android’s very strong fragmentation can partially explain this, it’s more of a development and monitoring effort.

Let’s hope the company will make this very practical mode available to other devices in a short time. Dark mode is useful for many reasons, for smartphones equipped with OLED displays, to increase visual comfort and save energy. Not to mention that many users are fond of this famous dark theme.

We regret that Google has not yet chosen to deploy its own solution. But Chrome has extensions that are easy to install while we wait for Google to make it available to as many people as possible. We’ve already taken the opportunity to cover Dark Reader. This extension profoundly changes the web browser and makes it possible to make some interesting settings such as brightness and contrast very easily accessible. Meanwhile, Google has already put dark mode in Android Messages, as well as YouTube and the “Phone” app. Do you find it helpful to leverage a dark theme? Share your views on this in the comments.
