Google Search is one of the mostly widely used daily tools in our lives, but the white background can be quite jarring in a dark room. The solution, is of course Google Search Dark Mode, and here’s how you can do it on the desktop. Including Dark and Light Mode, users now have three options in appearance settings of the search engine from Google, with the third the option to keep the appearance settings of Google Search synced with their computer’s default theme, which will be most helpful if users have set an automatic time for turning the Dark Mode on and off. The Dark Mode helps reduce eye strain by keeping a minimum contrast ratio required for readability.
The appearance settings for Google Search was announced through a post on Google’s Support in September 2021. The new appearance settings have three options — Device default, Dark, or Light. The post also mentioned that the new Dark Mode settings started rolling out for users on September 9 and will be gradually available to all users in the coming weeks.
How to activate Dark Mode in Google Search
The announcement mentions that the new appearance settings will apply for the Google homepage, Search results page, Search settings, among other linked webpages. The Device default setting automatically matches the colour scheme of the device. The Dark setting shows a light text over a dark background and vice-versa for the Light settings. Gadgets 360 was also able to change the appearance settings on Google Search. Here are the steps you need to follow to enable Dark Mode on Google Search.
