YouTube Has A “Dark” Secret You Need to Know

Being an online media giant has made YouTube develop many secretive projects that are kept from the public but can be easily accessed through your browser. One of which is turning on the Dark Mode on its platform to give your eyes a rest while you scroll through those endless YouTube videos. They have been aware of your midnight binge-watching activity which resulted in making the platform “dimmed down” the oh-so-bright white surface black.

To turn the Dark Mode on:

1. Open your Google Chrome (make sure it’s the latest version or 57 onwards)
2. Open up the developer window by hitting Shift + Ctrl + I on Windows, or Option + Command + I on Mac
3. Select the Console tab
4. Paste in the following text and hit enter:
   document.cookie=”VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE”
5. Close the developer window, refresh the browser, and the Dark Mode option will be available in the main settings menu in the top right.

As YouTube describes it, the Dark Mode will “create an experience ideal for night.” Go and try it yourself!
