The title, I put on to this post is true but is actually not. Google Chrome 73 released a week  ago supposed to have dark mode for all platforms but given to only MacOs. Now Chrome 74 rolled out started with unfinished dark mode to market. Let's see how to get it....

Google rolled out the dark mode for limited number of users as they stated. But with some tweaks you can still get dark mode.

First ensure that you are running Windows 10 v1809 aka October 2018 update and with dark as default app mode. Update the Google Chrome to latest version by navigating to 3 dot menu > Help > About Google Chrome.








In case you already got the dark mode, you are lucky to go. If that doesn't give any result, keep scrolling.

Search Google Chrome in the Windows Search and find the Application, Right Click on it and click on open file location.




There you can see a start menu's Chrome Shortcut. Right click on it and open properties. Now modify the Target String from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --force-dark-mode . Replace Taskbar shortcut with the modified shortcut.



Now with relaunching the Chrome you will get the dark mode...


In case you want to go back to original settings and want to wait for actual arrival of the feature, revert back the changes you have done. That's it.

Several reports about pixel phones crashing because of the Digital Wellbeing Application, i tried to disabling it too. I haven't seen a drastic change after all. The only difference between them and my Nokia 6.1 was only additional security chip. Pixels are powered by Titan M Encryption chip with usual main CPU and GPU's. But the meant to provide additional AI, Image processing and RAM Management. May be it is a software glitch without proper optimization.
