If you tend to binge YouTube late at night999 Archives I have good news for you.

Reddit users have discovered a new "dark mode" on YouTube that gives the entire webpage a sleek, all-black look. Nothing about the update is official, so it requires a little bit of hacking, but here's how you can get it:

• Update Google Chrome to the latest version

• Open the console by hitting Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows or Option + Command + I on Mac or go to View > Developer > Javascript Console in the menu

• Paste in "document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fPQ4jCL6EiE" and hit enter

• Close the developer window, refresh your browser

• On the top right corner, you'll be able to toggle dark mode either in your account settings or a separate menu if you're logged out

• That's it!

The feature redesigns the page so that it is cleaner and more widely spaced out, all on a black background.
