Google Chrome 73 (73.0.3683.75) is out now with various new features and improvements, as well as lots of security and bug fixes to make your Chrome browsing experience more enjoyable, safe, and secure at all times. Among the biggest new features of this release, we can mention support for Dark Mode on macOS.
As you can see from the screenshot attached below, once you've updated your Google Chrome web browser to version 73.0.3683.75 and relaunch it, you'll notice that Chrome is now dark by default if you're using the Dark Mode on macOS Mojave 10.14 and later.

Also new in the Google Chrome 73 release is support for keyboard media keys to control multimedia content on websites, improved Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support by automatically switching to PiP mode when moving away from the tab where the video is playing, as well as tab grouping support to better organize multiple tabs.
