[Update: Now in Stable] Chrome Canary now has a (buggy) dark mode


Google is still in the process of adding a dark mode to all of its applications, in preparation for Android Q's system-wide dark mode toggle. Chrome is one of the few remaining holdouts, but not for much longer. A dark mode toggle has been added to the experimental Canary branch of Chrome, though it's a bit buggy right now.
A new #enable-android-night-mode flag has been added to Chrome Canary, and when enabled, a dark mode toggle appears in the app's settings. Enabling dark mode also enables the split-toolbar 'Chrome Duet' interface, so it seems likely that dark mode will roll out alongside the Duet UI.
  
This is still in the early stages of development, so much of the interface still hasn't been properly themed. There's plenty of black text on black backgrounds, some buttons are the wrong color, and the navigation bar is still white. There's also no option to automatically turn dark mode on and off.
To try out dark mode, download the latest version of Chrome Canary from the Play Store and head to chrome://flags#enable-android-night-mode (paste that link into the address bar, tapping/clicking it won't work). Tap the highlighted dropdown menu, set it to 'Enabled,' and then restart the browser. You might need to close and open it again after that.
The dark mode flag is now on Chrome Dev, and seems to be enabled by default for some people. It also no longer requires the Chrome Duet UI, so if you don't like the bottom toolbar, it's not needed for dark mode to work.

According to recent reports, the feature has now trickled down into the current Beta channel, the update for which is rolling out now over on the Play Store. If you update to this latest Beta release, you should see the flags for dark mode available, should you go searching for them.

The dark mode flag has trickled down to Chrome Stable. It's available on version 74, which you can grab from the Play Store or APK Mirror.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
