YouTube Dark Mode Surfaces in Latest Desktop Chrome Browser Update

I wish all websites and OSS were dark. Sick of burning my eyes on white screens

Netflix decided to go the other way on this one with insanely bright ads that wake you up if you fall asleep while Netflix is playing. I guess it may motivate people to turn their tv off though. But if not at least it'll make us groggy and grumpy.

You're trolling, right?

Netflix doesn't have ads.

Wow guys big news eh? I've literally been using dark mode and the new layout for 8 weeks now on Safari, even though it's been available for months now.

Just look up the code and give it into the java console...

Edit: Tada!

Dude, how? I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me

It's part of YouTube's new interface.
I wish I could be more of more help but I seriously just logged in one day and the interface was different (like when Twitter updates). There's an option there:

That cookie lasts until 2085. After that your browser will revert back to normal YouTube theme. ;)

But it's per browser. You need to do that with every browser you use.

Here's how to enable it in Safari (MacOS):

You need to have Developer menu enabled. Go to Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced tab, and enable Developer menu.

* Go to www.youtube.com ('//www.youtube.com') and from the Developer menu select Show error console (or press: option + command + I)
* In the error console open Storage tab
* In the left panel select "Cookies - www.youtube.com ('//www.youtube.com')"
* Look through the cookies and see if there is one called "VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE". If there is, delete it.
* Then enter the following command to the error console at the bottom where it reads ">"

document.cookie='VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE;domain=.youtube.com;path=/;max-age='+100000000000+';';

After that refresh the youtube page and press on the profile icon. That profile menu should now look completely different than how it was before. You should find the Dark Mode from there.
