Chrome Doesn't Go Dark Mode on Chrome 74 Windows 10 1809 1 Recommended Answer 70 Replies 352 Upvotes

Google Chrome 74 has just released to the public today, and it includes a dark mode for Windows 10. When I updated my Google Chrome today to Chrome 74, I made the default app mode setting on my computer to be dark, but Google Chrome is still in light mode. Does anyone have a solution to fix this problem?

Same for me. I THOUGHT it was supposed to be automatic. At least that's what I read. It doesn't seem to be.

I've gone back and forth, rebooted, did anything I could to make dark mode work with Windows 10 and it does not. I have a feeling people jumped the gun and even though it was in some Chrome 74 beta releases it was not yet ready and not actually activated.. I hope I'm wrong.

I had the same problem. And I've just found the way how to enable dark mode in Youtube manually. You just need to open the developer's menu, find console and type document.cookie=”VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE; path=/”. If you were logged in Youtube you can open profile and select the Dark Theme option. Use the switch to turn it on or off. Or move to settings and switch on the Dark Mode option. Here you can see how it must look like https://freewindows10.download/articles/how-to-activate-youtube-dark-mode-in-chrome-firefox-edge-opera.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to reach out, and for your enthusiasm!

I can confirm that we are rolling out this feature to a small number of Chrome M74 users now, and that it will become more widely available in the near future.

Thanks!
