Windows 10: You can now "force dark mode for web contents" in Edge insider Canary.

This feature was implemented in Chromium a long time ago and now Microsoft has added the necessary flag to enable it in Edge Canary (80.0.317.1):

Flag.

This flag doesn't interfere with those sites that use their own dark mode and if you already use an extension to apply the dark mode to all pages, for example Dark Reader (I have used it for years), this flag respects the settings of that extension.

I think the main advantage of this flag is that it applies the dark mode to those sites where extensions like Dark Reader have no effect, one of them is the Chrome Web store.

CWS.

I still prefer the colors that Dark Reader applies to websites, so I will continue using that extension along with the flag.
