The best Google Chrome themes for 2020
Part of the reason Google Chrome is the most popular browser is its refined simplicity. It’s just enough browser, with room for add-ons if you need a bit of extra functionality, but it’s specifically engineered for efficiency. Unfortunately, this means it’s usually a bit boring to look at. For the most part, every Chrome install looks the same — flat, gray, minimalist, with a few pops of color depending on your extensions.
Sometimes you just want Chrome to show a little personality, to look a little different. If that’s the case, you’ve probably ventured into the Chrome Web Store at least once or twice. And let’s be honest, it’s a bit of a mess in there. To help out, we’ve waded through the massive amount of Chrome themes and returned with our favorites.
Oh, and if you’re on a Chromebook, these themes will all work with Chrome OS and Chrome apps, although they won’t work with any non-Chrome apps you may be using on your Chromebook.

Modern Flat

Black carbon + silver metal
Best dark themes
Like the minimalist themes above, these themes re-skin your browser to make things darker, dimming the lights and eliminating that gray-white color scheme common to vanilla Chrome.
Just Black
Morpheon Dark
Slinky Elegant
Special mention – Dark Reader
Dark Reader is technically an extension instead of a theme, but it does what a theme does plus much more. The download includes a menu where you can adjust the dark settings to match your browsing environment as needed. And this doesn’t just apply to the Chrome window, but also to all Google sites, social media sites like Facebook, and more. It’s basically a dark mode for all your browsing!
Best colorful themes
Stepping out of the dark and into the light, we scoured the Chrome Web Store for the most colorful themes for anyone who wants their browser to look a little less dour. These themes keep things simple but inject a little color into your Chrome experience.

Flying Paint

Best landscape themes
The best landscape themes borrow an excellent photo and skin your browser based on the colors and overall feel of the original picture. These themes do more than just change a color scheme, however — they’ll turn your browser into a window to the outside world.
Norwegian Fjord
City and Bridge in the Fog
Greek Beach
Isle of Skye Scotland
Best cute animal themes
Sometimes you just need to look at a cute animal. Full stop. Thankfully, these themes inject cat and dog photos into your everyday experience, so you can enjoy them any time you open a new tab.
