If you want to enable dark mode on all websites you visit, you’ll need to enable it for your browser. Here are some ways to enable dark mode in Google Chrome.

Bonus Tip: Choose Device Default or Light Theme

If you want to use the theme as per your device, i.e. when your device is using a light theme, the search becomes light and when the PC is in dark mode, it becomes dark too. You can do this too by choosing device default in the appearance options. Here’s how:

1. Click on Settings at the bottom of the Google Search page.

2. Now, click on “Search Settings” from the menu.

3. On the next page, click “Appearance” from the side menu.

4. And it will show you three options- Device default, Dark theme, Light theme.

5. Choose any one of these and then click on “Save”.

That’s it, Google will save your preference regarding the Search page and will start appearing accordingly. You can change this any time from the settings.
