Why does bing still not have a dark mode?

The user interface is way too bright even for daytime use. There isn't even a tint in the white background making the white light from a monitor very intense. Google and DuckDuckGo have dark mode so there is no reason for Bing to not have it when other major search engines have incorporated it into their design. In fact, they already have it on mobile proving that they are capable of adding it to the desktop version of Bing.

Extensions like night eye and other chromium dark mode extensions don't work well with Bings CSS and cause lots of visuals to not render properly on the screen. I use the edge browser and have loved how dark mode has been incorporated into the browser and for Bing (the highly recommended search engine from Microsoft when using edge) not to have dark mode makes it very inconsistent and a flash bang when navigating between Bing and other websites with dark mode.

All screenshots were taken below on Microsoft edge browser (google and duckduckgo detected my browser was in dark mode making the user interface feel more consistent rather than a dark frame around a bright search engine):

There doesn't seem to be a forum for Bing or the Bing [desktop] webpage. Can you provide a direct link?

Thank you!

This is literally the reason why I still use google. I prefer the results in Bing but my eyes are bad and the bright background causes lots of glare.

Don't bother. Dark mode has been requested for at least 5 years. Nada.

Uggh. Was excited to use the new Bing and it's an eyesore on my dark desktop. I have to go back to Google until Bing has a dark mode.

Ditto. Having to reset all my things back to Google now because of this utter lack of USABILITY.

Perhaps someone in MS USABILITY LABS can use some ability they have to push this change through, because my ABILITY to USE the product is hindered by this decision.

I don't know why Bing or Microsoft (Same in a way) can't just come up with dark mode for their few sites including Bing. Thank God for at least documentation page there is a dark mode there. They have even launched a chatbot with ai but still cannot bring a dark mode and there is no official release of why they don't have a dark mode on bing.com except third party extension which are very risky if they get hacked using vulnerability all our social media and banking details will end up in wrong hands.

The fact that they don't have something as basic as an official darkmode is just pure insanity to me, given how hard they try to get new users.

Trying to innovate with AI, but then instantly losing (my guess is 20%) of the new userbase, because it literally hurts to use the site.

As per Bing Team, Dark Mode switch is being tested.


You can always use Edge flag to force Dark Mode on all websites.
