Should you use dark mode in Chrome?

There are many good reasons to use Dark Mode, especially on battery-operated devices with OLED screens, because displaying black pixels consumes less power than displaying white pixels. As we mentioned, it’s easier on the eyes in dim light. If you need to quickly check something on your phone at night, you can do so without waking your partner or melting your eyeballs with a glowing white home screen.

However, there are also disadvantages. It has nothing to do with the Chrome interface being in dark mode, but if you use the force dark mode option, it will often make websites look a little weird – in extreme cases, it can make them completely unreadable. Thankfully, disabling forced dark mode only takes a few seconds. You’ll soon know if you like it and can continue from there.
