Great catch! Thanks for the head's up. One question, it says you need version 74. When I check Google Play, the latest is only 73.xxxx. Do you know where 74 is?

I found it under Chrome Beta. Here's the link:

Once you install the beta and go into the "flags" to turn the option on (see the "handy dandy guide in Pitcarver's link) Restart Chrome Beta and I had to do a "force stop" to get Dark Mode to appear in settings.

Works fine except for web pages that cannot load as dark backgrounds.

Well, at least they're finally doing something.

One of the biggest companies is about last in getting dark mode.

I tried it, but it wasn't really doing anything. I couldn't find a website that was any different dark vs light. I thought I was doing something wrong, but I didn't think only making the menu dark was that impressive. Did I miss something?

I saw that there were 2 different flags for dark options.
One for web content and another for the Google UI.
I enabled the UI flag and it adds a button in settings.
I enabled the web content and can see the forums in dark mode now.
If I come to a page that looks buggy, I just simply go to flags and disable i t.
As long as it's not set to default, the options stay at the top of the screen.

Thanks again for the information. That's a great find, especially since the original poster missed it. Kudos to you!
