Google Search on mobile to get a major redesign
It is still unclear as to how widely the test has been rolled out. According to 9to5Google, some users are also able to see a message that read, “Dark theme is now available” if they launch Chrome in an incognito window as well.
“We’re always testing new ways to improve our experience for our users, but don’t have anything specific to announce right now,” Google said in a statement as quoted by The Verge.
The tech giant seems to be A/B testing a dark mode for Search on the big screen for a while now, as per reports.
Previously, a few users in December had taken to Reddit to report that the theme had been turned on for their search results on desktop.
