User Reviews

Users generally find Google Docs Dark Mode lightweight and easy to install, and it can reduce eye strain. Some reviews say it behaves like the Chrome version and doesnt slow down their PC. However, reliability is mixed: updates can break the extension, and several reviews report it doesnt actually darken the Google Docs document content (only the surrounding UI), with poor contrast and limited scope (docs-only, not sheets/slides). UX is sometimes unclear due to a minimalist options menu. Overall, its useful for UI darkening, but results on the document and reliability vary.
Pros
  • Lightweight and doesnt lag the PC
  • Simple extension that gets the job done
  • Reduces eye strain / easier on the eyes
  • Works similarly to the Chrome version (familiar UX)
  • Darkens the surrounding UI to reduce glare for some users
Cons
  • Does not darken the actual Google Docs content; only background/UI (poor contrast in many cases)
  • Not reliable; updates can break the extension or cause it to stop working entirely
  • Very limited scope (docs-only, not Sheets/Slides) and often only affects a single document
  • Minimalist options UI and sparse explanations make troubleshooting hard

Does turn everything dark, EXCEPT the docs, which is the MAIN thing!!! Broken.

A lot more limited than I'd hoped - literally just forces dark mode on *a* document when opened, rather than all of Google Docs - but that's exactly what it says on the tin, after all..! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a version that makes the whole thing dark, and maybe even Google Sheets! *dreamy sigh*

Is Google Docs Dark Mode Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Google Docs Dark Mode requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
