Actually, it enables dark mode across all the web pages you load on your Chrome browser. So here is how it is done:

Step 7: Once you have added the extension, go to Google Drive. And you will see the Night Sift Redux popup icon in the extension tray. By clicking on the icon, you can enable or disable the night mode on any website.
