By now, we’re all well aware of the idea of a light or dark theme for our phones – Android and iOS users alike. It’s become a staple of technology use, and if not only an essential accessibility feature, then certainly a convenience at the very least. Over the past few years, Google and has […]
Chrome Remote Desktop is now rocking a dark theme toggle on the web! “Come to the Dark Side…we have cookies”. Okay, being serious for a moment, this is awesome! Last year, its app was pushed out in favor of the web app and now, it’s joining the fight against the bright light and saving your […]
“Dark theme all the things,” I always say, and so it seems that someone at Google has stolen the phrase I totally didn’t coin by myself. In addition to Google News, Chrome OS, and even a brief stint of Google Search featuring a dark theme, your ‘My Activity‘ page is now much easier to look […]

As reports have been swirling around the coming light theme for Chrome OS that is now semi-present in the Canary Channel, it seems the standard non-light theme that currently exists on Chromebooks is starting to get more and more darkened elements in preparation for the arrival of a proper light/dark theme selection for Chromebooks in […]
Those of you familiar with my ramblings here on Chrome Unboxed are likely keen to the fact that I am a huge fan of Dark Mode’s on just about everything. Ever since the late 90’s and the release of the NeoPlanet browser, I have favored draping a dark look on my browser and that look […]
If you’re like me and millions of other users, you’re a fan of Dark Mode. Maybe you aren’t so much a fan but you spend a lot of time in front of a screen and you’re looking for a break from the countless websites that present glaring bright backgrounds and elements.

It’s Black History Month and Google is using its platform to educate, inspire, and promote diversity. Earlier this month, Google launched a Voices and Stories Collection, a Black History Culture Project, supported Black-owned businesses, and featured the artwork of a Black artist every Monday on the YouTube homepage as a Doodle.
