Although Google Chrome’s dark mode covers many areas of the browser, not all web pages are supported by default. To make sure all web pages are displayed in dark mode, you can use Chrome extensions. Some of the most reliable are:

Night Eye lets you enjoy dark mode in five areas for free. This extension inverts the colors of web pages, turning white backgrounds into dark and black letters into light colors, providing a more comfortable viewing experience.

Dark Shift applies dark mode to all web pages and provides the ability to implement a warm filter to further reduce eye strain. Both extensions are available in the Chrome Web Store and it is advisable to choose the ones with good and multiple reviews to ensure an optimal experience.
