Does exactly what it says it does, but the dark mode inverts the colors of images. If that is fixed, I'll reinstall, but until then, I prefer using the pageless option, changing the color to black and manually closing the menu.

If you have white text on the dark background in your google doc, this extension will put white background with your white text. And if you will try to switch it to "dark mode"... It will put both text and background to dark. Wow.
