Turn on Night Mode on Twitter on a PC or Mac

This article teaches you how to switch to a dark color scheme in Twitter using a browser extension called Twitter Web – Night Mode.

Steps

Using Google Chrome

  1. Open Chrome. It’s the round red, green, blue, and yellow icon labeled “Chrome,” often found in the Windows menu (Windows) or the Dock (macOS).
    • Since the Twitter website doesn’t include a night mode feature, this method will walk you through installing a browser extension from the Chrome web store.
  2. Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore. To get there, type or paste that URL into the address bar at the top of the screen, then press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return.
  3. Type Twitter Web – Night Mode into the search box. It’s at the top-left corner of the page.
  4. Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Now you’ll see results from the Chrome Web Store that match your search.
  5. Click + Add to Chrome next to “Twitter Web – Night Mode.” It should be the first option on the screen.
  6. Click Add extension. This gives the extension permission to run on your web browser. Twitter Web – Night Mode will now install in your web browser. When the installation is complete, a small gray Twitter bird icon will appear at the browser’s top-right corner.
  7. Navigate to https://www.twitter.com. The Twitter home page will appear in its normal colors.
    • If you’re not already signed in to your Twitter account, do so now.
  8. Click the Twitter icon at the top-right corner of Chrome. The colors will now shift to a dark scheme with light text, also known as “dark mode.”
    • To switch back to the normal color scheme, click the Twitter bird icon at the top-right corner of Chrome.

Using Mozilla Firefox

  1. Open Firefox. Look for an icon with an orange fox wrapped around a globe. You’ll typically find it in your Windows menu (Windows) or in the Dock (macOS).
    • Since the Twitter website doesn’t include a night mode feature, this method will walk you through installing a browser extension from the Firefox web store.
  2. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox. Type or paste the URL into the address bar at the top of the screen, then press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return.
  3. Type Twitter Web – Night Mode into the search box. It’s at the top-right corner of the page.
  4. Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return to view the search results.
  5. Click Twitter Web – Night Mode in the search results. It should be at the top of the list.
  6. Click + Add to Firefox. The button is green with white text.
  7. Click Install. The extension will now download to Firefox. When the installation is complete, a tiny Twitter bird icon will appear on the right side of the address box.
  8. Navigate to https://www.twitter.com. Twitter will now display, though it’ll likely appear in its normal colors.
    • If you haven’t yet signed into Twitter, do so now.
  9. Click the Twitter bird icon in the address bar. Twitter will now shift to a dark color scheme with light text, also known as “night mode.”
    • You can disable night mode at any time by clicking the Twitter bird icon in the address bar.
