Google has painted most of its apps in the dark theme. It’s easier on the eyes and a joy for users like me. The company has been A/B testing dark mode for Google Search on desktop for some time now. It was first spotted back in December last year. And today, a lot of users are seeing the Google Search dark mode on desktop yet again.
Google Search Dark Theme Test Confirmed
Google has confirmed to The Verge that it is currently testing the feature with select users. There is no word on the official rollout just yet. The dark theme looks pretty similar to the one spotted last year. The Google logo is painted white while the page background is dark gray. It will look odd at first and take some getting used to, but it certainly looks good.
- Enable Google Search Dark Theme
Once you get access to the dark mode, you will see the “You’re now using Dark theme” message at the top of the search results. Hitting the ‘Turn off’ button takes you to the new ‘Appearance’ section (see image attached below) on the Search settings page.
