User Reviews
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
Recent reviews
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.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Google Docs Dark Mode is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
