How to Get Dark Mode on Google Chrome Right Now?

Dark Mode is slowly making its way everywhere around the operating systems. Recently the MacOS Mojave introduced the long-awaited dark mode to the Mac users. Similarly, Microsoft has also pushed dark mode for File Explorer with the recent Windows 10 October 2018 update.

Starting 2018, dark mode is also making its way into the apps. Many developers have already added support for the dark mode in their apps. Apps like Twitter, Discord, and Firefox have already got dark mode. Moreover, WhatsApp and Chrome are also testing dark mode and will push the feature with future updates.
