User reviews

Dark Mode Google Docs is praised for providing an effective dark theme that reduces eye strain, with customization options and improved readability over competitors. Users appreciate the toggle hotkeys and general compatibility with Google Docs and some Sheets features. However, it has notable drawbacks such as inverting colors in images and custom color pickers, causing issues for artists and color selection. Additionally, it affects pop-up windows and slide presentations negatively, sometimes causing persistent visual glitches even after disabling. Some UI elements remain unaffected, reflecting incomplete coverage.

Pros

Effectively provides dark mode for Google Docs, improving eye comfort and reducing visual fatigue, especially for users working long hours.
Allows adjustment of warmth and brightness, enabling customization to user preference.
Better contrast and crisper fonts compared to other dark mode extensions, improving readability.
Can be toggled easily with hotkeys, allowing users to switch dark mode on and off quickly when needed.
Works well not only on Google Docs but also shows some compatibility with Google Sheets and basic document styling.

Cons

Inverts colors of images inside documents, which is problematic for artists and users who need accurate image representation.
Causes issues with color picking and custom colors within Google Docs and other Google sites, making it hard to select themes or colors properly.
Sometimes inverts pop-up windows or overlays black screens when presenting slides, reducing usability in Google Slides presentations.
After disabling or removing the extension, some visual effects like color inversion or black overlays persist and require a page refresh to clear.
Does not fully work on some interface elements like headers and search bars on the Google Docs home page, indicating incomplete functionality.

Works like a charm, but I would like an option to toggle and disable the effects on images.

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.

Dark Mode Google Docs requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
