Google Chrome: dark mode is coming to Android too!

Google has confirmed that dark mode will be coming to Chrome for Android soon. The developer hasn’t given a firm date yet, but a testing phase is planned soon.

Google Chrome on Android will soon benefit from a dark mode like in Windows 10. Google is preparing to test this new dark mode on Chrome Canary, which is still under development. We take stock.

Dark modes have been a huge success in recent months! The Mountain View company already offers a dark mode in many apps, including Google Phone or Google Contacts. The developer even encourages users to opt for Android Pie’s dark mode to save battery life on their smartphones.

Faced with the enthusiasm generated, Google developed a native dark mode for Chrome on Windows 10 and MacOS. according to our colleagues 9to5Google, Chrome on Android will also benefit from this dark mode. Indeed, several clues have been spotted on the web browser’s development platform.

According to the media, Google may start testing this new dark mode. in the coming weeks, via Chrome Canary. Developer oriented, this is a very unstable version of Chrome. On the other hand, it always takes advantage of the latest innovations and functions developed by Google.

With these few dark mode projects, Google is trying to pass the pill on to critics of the graphic redesign of its apps. The new interface chosen by the company really gives pride to white, whiter than white, out of concern for simplicity and purity. Unfortunately, this design is a bit harsh for the most sensitive eyes (just like the Netflix logo appears at the beginning of an episode).

As dark themes proliferate at major manufacturers, including Samsung One UI, Google will integrate a native dark mode into Android Q. More advanced than what is currently offered in Android Pie, it should paint your entire interface black. What do you expect from Google on the dark mode side of Chrome?
