The latest Chrome 74 for Windows 10 has a secret dark mode
Chrome is finally being updated to version 74 across all desktop platforms including Mac, Windows, and Linux. Along with Chrome 74, Windows users will be able to enable the long-awaited dark mode. This changes Chrome's UI, menus, and Downloads window to a more comfortable interface to use at night.
