User reviews

Users appreciate that this Firefox add-on provides a lag-free dark mode experience on Google Docs editing pages, making it easier on the eyes than the default white background. However, many criticize that the core document area remains white and only the surrounding interface darkens, resulting in low contrast and reduced effectiveness. The extension has limited support confined to Google Docs, excluding Sheets or Slides. Some report recent updates have broken its functionality, and the minimal options interface lacks user guidance, causing usability issues.

Pros

Does not lag the PC unlike other similar extensions.
Works well on Google Docs editing pages, providing a dark mode experience.
Easier on the eyes compared to the default white interface when editing documents.
Simple to use and functions similarly to Chrome extensions offering dark mode.

Cons

Does not darken the actual document content; only the surrounding interface and background change color.
Contrast is low, making the dark mode less effective and visually appealing.
Does not work on Google Slides or Sheets, limited functionality to Google Docs only.
Latest updates have broken the functionality for some users, rendering it non-working.
Minimalist options menu lacking explanations, causing confusion on how to use or fix issues.

Extension safety

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.
