How to Enable Dark Mode for Any Website on Mac or PC
Not all websites support dark mode, which can lead to eye fatigue and discomfort. Fortunately, there are several ways to enable dark mode on all websites, regardless of the browser you are using. In this article, we will show you how to enable dark mode for any website in Safari, Google Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Firefox on your Mac or PC.
There are three possibilities when it comes to dark mode support for a website:
- Supports system dark mode: The website will honor your Mac’s dark mode settings. So, if your Mac is in dark mode, the website will also mimic that, and vice versa.
- Dedicated dark mode toggle: Some websites like iDB place a dark mode toggle on their web page. The user can turn it on or off at his discretion.
- No dark mode: Some sites don’t support system-wide PC dark mode settings and don’t have a toggle on the page to turn it on or off. This guide is primarily intended for such websites.

In Chrome
You can enable dark mode on all websites in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera by enabling its experimental features or using a third-party extension. Let’s look at both.
Warning. Please save your current work before proceeding as you will have to close and reopen your browser.
Method 1: Turn on automatic dark mode for web content
1) Open Chrome on your computer, type chrome://flags/#enable-force-darkin the address bar and press enter.
2) Click the dropdown menu next to Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents and select Enabled.
3) Finally, click “Relaunch”to close and reopen Chrome. Once this is done, all websites, whether they natively support dark mode or not, will be forced to display in dark mode.
You can also enable this in Chrome on your Android phone by going to chrome://flags. Note. Because Chrome on iPhone and iPad uses Apple’s WebKit, it’s essentially Safari with a different look and feel, and you can’t include flags in it.
Method 2: Using a free extension
1) Add the Super Dark Mode extension to your Chrome browser.
2) Visit the website and it should load in dark mode. If not, click the extension icon and then click the Super Dark Mode icon.
