If you're someone who spends a lot of time browsing the web, you might find the bright white background of most websites to be a bit harsh on the eyes. Fortunately, Microsoft Edge offers a dark theme that can make browsing a lot easier on your eyes. In this article, we'll show you how to enable the dark theme in Microsoft Edge.


Enabling the dark theme in Microsoft Edge is a simple process. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
  2. Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the window.
  3. Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Appearance" section.
  5. Under "Theme," select "Dark."

That's it! The dark theme should now be enabled in Microsoft Edge. You should notice that the background of your browser window is now dark, which can make browsing a lot easier on your eyes.

There are several benefits to using the dark theme in Microsoft Edge. Here are just a few:

  • Reduced Eye Strain: The bright white background of most websites can be harsh on your eyes, especially if you're browsing for long periods of time. The dark theme can help reduce eye strain and make browsing more comfortable.
  • Improved Battery Life: If you're using a laptop or tablet, using the dark theme can actually help improve your battery life. This is because dark pixels require less power than bright pixels.
  • Better Accessibility: For some people, using a dark theme can make it easier to read text on a screen. This can be especially helpful for people with visual impairments.
