Senior Chrome Engineer and a member of the Chromium team at Google Peter Kasting in a Reddit thread revealed the ongoing development around native dark mode support for desktops. Microsoft's Windows 10 is also supporting an option to enable a system-wide dark mode for a long time. The company already added a dark mode to its various offerings, including Android and YouTube. This is notably not the first time when Google has favoured a dark mode on its development.

With native dark mode support, Google Chrome will bring a comfortable Web browsing experience on Windows machines especially in low lighting conditions. The new development comes weeks after Google was spotted preparing a dark theme specifically for the Chrome browser for macOS Mojave. Google Chrome is set to add a native dark mode for Windows desktops.
