I tested in a bionic VM with the chromium snap, the chromium-browser
deb, and the chrome deb, and none of them showed dark web content when
passing the --force-dark-mode command-line parameter, so it looks like a
consistent behaviour at least.
chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark can be used to force dark mode though,
and that works in all three packages.
Can you please run "apport-collect 1853273" to attach more information
to this bug report?

Title:
--force-dark-mode flag in init file does not get recognized
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When creating a init file at ~/.chromium-browser.init chromium is
supposed to read flags from there. However these do not work
correctly.
What I expected to happen:
Starting chromium with the --force-dark-mode flag in the init file should
make it use a dark UI (as long as the GTK theme option in the settings is not
used)
What happened instead:
Starting chromium with above configuration correctly echoes
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--force-dark-mode" to the terminal and it also appears under
chrome://version but a normal non-dark UI is used.
What does work:
Starting chromium with the above flag as an argument from the terminal makes
it use a dark UI (apparently not for everyone
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1851896/comments/5)
What also does not work:
This may affect all flags - so far I have tested the above and
"--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode"
Version:
chromium version: 78.0.3904.97 rev: 937 tracking: stable
