Google is again testing Dark Mode in Google Search, and it's not clear exactly how widely this is spread.

Your system needs to be set for dark mode to be able to see this test, if it's available to you.

Option 1: Google is the bright white light on the deep dark web universe.

Option 2: Google logo has been through the wash so much that all colour and joy has been bleached away.

Option 3: Google marketing is desperately in search of youth audience relevance so dredging up vague decade(s) past memories of gamers in the dorm next door.

Option 4...

I'm not sure that this is always compatible with a user's browser. Although I still do it myself on the image gallery pages of a couple of my sites.

Also, I often use various dark modes on several browsers, but it's tricky because sometimes check boxes aren't visible, or else you can't tell if a box is checked or not. Sometimes you can't see text in other situations either.

Yet a dark-mode browser somehow usual;ly works with a dark-mode page.

Wouldnt it be awesome if dark mode meant searching the dark web or all the sites google has demoted and penalised with penguin 1 etc over the years? I have to go to bing to find sites that penguin 1 destroyed

Heh ... when using high contrast color schemes for the visually challenged ALL websites and search engines look just like this.
