Latest Edge Canary build lets you enable dark mode for websites
You need to be on the latest version of Edge insider Canary
The flag was first added in Version 80.0.317.1
Then you have to head over to the edge://flags/ and Enable this flag:
Force Dark Mode for Web Contents
Automatically render all web contents using a dark theme. – Mac, Windows
Here are the options it offers
- Does anyone know if they are planning to implement a dark mode option for the Android version?
- No information is available yet
I've been using an extension* to do this for some time, so it's really good to have native functionality.
Not every page is fully provisioned for dark mode, though, so it is helpful to be able to turn it off for the current page. This was easy enough (a keyboard shortcut*) when using the extension; do you or anyone know if this is possible in Edge?
* https://nighteye.app/ allows Alt-Shift-2 to toggle dark mode on and off on the current page.
- Hi,
there is no shortcut available right now since it's only enabled through flags but you're right a shortcut needs to be made because forced dark mode is something that needs to be turned on/off quickly by user
Added advantage= No more white flash when opening NTP.
Well, seems I was wrong about that. No flash when opening NTP but it still happens when switching tabs.
- I'm getting the same flash but it's black instead of white, my theme on Windows is dark and Edge is using system theme. force dark mode for websites flag is set to defaults
Here are how each one of those options effect web page appearances

HotCakeX I've been really enjoying this feature - it does a great job of flipping all except images. Canary 338 removed the flag though ;( Did it go somewhere else? Dark mode for the header/tabs with white web pages looks awful.
- Hi,
sorry for the late reply, I'm checking now and it's available on 80.0.341.0 Canary.
