User reviews
Pros
- Effectively enables a dark mode for Google Docs, reducing eye strain especially in low light conditions.
- Easy to use with simple toggles to switch between light and dark modes both for the page background and document content.
- Has worked reliably for many users over time, with loyal user base appreciating its functionality.
- Adjusting the page color via Google Docs settings complements the extension and offers additional customization.
- Generally lightweight and focused on Google Docs, working well on Chrome browser.
Cons
- Some users report the extension not working at all or buttons/icons not appearing.
- The dark mode can be inconsistently applied, sometimes too transparent or blending text poorly, leading to readability issues.
- Does not support other Google Suite apps like Sheets, causing confusion for some users.
- UI issues such as the icon placement interfering with other browser functions (e.g., Ctrl+F close button).
- Causes images to invert colors or switch to negative, which is undesirable to users. Printing while in dark mode can waste ink if not disabled.

While scrolling it can cause issues like copy hidden comments into your documents. Really annoying.

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 very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.
Google Docs Dark Mode has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
Risk likelihood analysis details
- Low This extension was updated more than 6 months ago. Older versions are more likely to be stable and safe.
