What is Material Incognito Dark Theme?
The 'Material Incognito Dark Theme' is a now-defunct Chrome extension that was engineered to mimic the incognito mode's dark colour scheme across the whole browser interface. As it is fully open-source under the Apache License, anyone can check its source code on GitHub. It's important to note that Chrome theme developers have no power to change the omnibox colour; therefore, it will remain white. To uninstall this theme, users can easily reset to default in the Appearance section of the Settings.
