Chrome 75 brings dark mode improvement, password generator to Android

The latest version of Google's popular browser, Chrome 75, is rolling out to Android devices now with several new features, including improvements to dark mode, a password generator and more.

To start, Chrome 75 removes the need for users to enable a flag to access the dark mode introduced in Chrome 74. Now, the new 'Themes' page should appear in the settings menu by default. In Themes, users can switch between calorie-free, nighttime and organisation default.

Further, Chrome 75 reportedly fixes an issue with dark fashion where some text didn't change from black to white, making it hard or impossible to read in some instances.

However, in my tests, Chrome'southward dark mode doesn't work at all, save for turning the browser's settings dark. Plus, the Themes page text doesn't alter color, and so when you turn on night mode, yous can't read the text anymore. Your mileage will vary with this update.

Google won't innovate the CSS media query that instructs sites to adjust their appearance based on the device theme until Chrome 76.

Then, even if you get the dark mode working in 75, websites won't follow the theme until you force them to with the flag the inverts page colours (#enable-android-web-contents-dark-style flag).

Countersign generator

Google Chrome on Android finally has a congenital-in countersign generator. Now, when yous tap on a password input box, a password bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.

If you tap the key icon will show saved passwords for a site, and the 'Advise potent countersign' will create one for you lot automatically.

It's a keen add-on to Chrome, and hopefully it encourages more than people to employ potent passwords like this.

I also worry it might be besides little besides late. I abased Chrome's password saving feature a long time agone in favour of a password manager, and I have no plans to go dorsum, especially since I utilise several different browsers.

Web Share API Level ii and more

Finally, Chrome 75 brings a new level to the Spider web Share API, which allow spider web pages share text and URLs to native Android apps.

Level 2 lets spider web page share files, similar images, in the aforementioned way. For stop users, information technology's like clicking the share push in an app, but inside a website. However, the change still doesn't let websites receive files, but Web Share Target API Level 2 should remedy that when it arrives in Chrome 76.

Along with the update to the Web Share API, Chrome 75 brings improvements to the Web Animations API, as well as back up for synchronous network requests.

Additionally, websites can now check device back up for audio playback sample size, rate and latency. The Chrome update brings improvements to pull-to-refresh, support for service workers in Chrome'south Job Manager and more.
