Chrome stuck in dark mode even if the system is not in dark mode

My chrome seems to be stuck in dark mode even though the system is not in night mode.

I have already tried the following:

  1. Turning it on and off (1st law of fixing something)
  2. Changing the System Preferences > General > Appearance to Light

Chrome: Version 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (x86_64) MacOS : Big Sur 11.2.3

Any help is appreciated. I am currently writing this in dark mode and it's annoying


Solution 1:

So, after struggling a lot found this flag which was set to enabled.

Open the flag settings in your chrome

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

Change the value from enabled to:

  • default if you want the dark mode to depend on OS
  • disabled always light mode
