On The Dark Side of The Chrome

The GF got me onto this whole dark mode thing... I've played a bit with a couple of dark themes on Chrome before, but they put a bit of a strain on my crappy boxes, besides, they slowed a bit the browsing experience, so decided to wait until Chrome gets a native dark mode to use it day in day out.
Well, today out of the blue checked how was the native dark mode support on Linux doing, and lo and behold, it is here!

Launch Chrome like this:
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --force-dark-mode

But that is not enough. The Chrome interface will get dark, yes, but many, many websites will not.
In order to force a dark Chrome across the board, you'll also have to open the URL:

chrome://flags/

And set this two options:

Force Dark Mode for Web Contents -> Enabled
Prominent Dark Mode Active Tab Titles -> Enabled

Re-start Chrome to see the changes.
