Looking for ways to spruce up that boring old Google Chrome browser? Adding a terrific theme is one of the best things you can do to boost your overall browsing experience. Searching Google Chrome's extensive library for a theme to match your unique personality can be tedious, though.
Fortunately, the perfect theme might be right under your nose. Our list includes themes in a variety of styles and colors. From minimalist designs to colorful patterns, we've got you covered.

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!
