Dark mode for Google™ docs

Enable dark mode on Google Docs to reduce eye strain while working on your documents.
What is Dark mode for Google™ docs?
Dark Mode for Google™ docs is a Chrome extension that allows users to enable a dark mode on Google Docs. Suited for those who spend long hours working on documents, this tool transforms the standard bright white background to a darker theme, reducing the amount of blue light emission from the screen. In turn, this minimizes eye strain, enhances comfort while working in low light and allows users to maintain their focus for longer periods. Despite the color transformation, the format and appearance of the documents remain unaffected.
