Dark Mode for Google Docs
Description from store

Use Google Docs Dark Mode to turn bright pages into a comfortable dark theme and give your eyes a break while you write, edit, and read Google Docs.

🌙 Google Docs Dark Mode – Eye-Friendly Writing in Your Browser
Google Docs Dark Mode is a Chrome extension that lets you toggle dark mode on and off specifically for Google Docs. Switch to a sleek dark interface in a single click so you can focus on your work without harsh white backgrounds.

🔆 The Problem: Bright Pages, Tired Eyes
Google Docs uses a bright white page by default. If you spend hours writing, editing, or reviewing documents, that constant brightness can cause eye strain and make long work sessions uncomfortable, especially at night or in low-light environments.

✅ The Solution: Google Docs Dark Mode
This extension applies a dark theme directly to Google Docs. Toggle dark mode on or off anytime to create a calmer, more comfortable writing and reading environment.

Aisya Azmi
works great! Probably the best extension to use for dark mode.
RJ H
Worked great for a long time but now has a bug where it pins either Google.com or trends.google.com to Chrome on startup. Other reviewers below cite the same bug. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!
Precious
Great! Exactly like the dark mode on mobile!
Elie Guillao
great !!
Tyler
Works great.
Loruski
Very good implementation of theming across all google docs websites, only flaw that made me remove the extension is the behavior of adding a pinned google trends tab every time the browser initializes the extension, probably a paid sponsorship?
IIgar Gadirov
Thank you! It's work with Google Docs! Great
Yusuf Chowdhury
This extension is amazing, No colour inversions either. My only problem is that it will sometimes open a new pinned google trends tab whenever I open a new window. I had to uninstall and reinstall it for it to go away. Also did the extension get renamed?
Rommel Jr. Sapno
Really works well even with google sheets
Dragos Pacurar
Great, works as it should, just click and go!
Gabrielle Moretti
Works very well and as expected. Wish it worked on the chrome web store page itself. In google sheets, parts will be left white, like the search section in Google sheets, where you'll find your list of sheets, and sometimes in the forumla bar in sheets as well. Thank you creating it ! Would be great if these small glitches would be fixed 🧡
Petr Vojtěchovský
Extremely simple and works TOP!

Hands down the best tool in the Google Extension Store. I've been on an extension spree the past few days and this one is golden, especially because I work late at night.

Richard McSharry
I have eye problems and this is a god damn life saver. It doesn't hijack my browser when I open new tabs. It just works. Brilliant for working with Google Sheets or Docs late in the day! THANK YOU DEV!
Nicholas Ly
This extension will hijack your browser so that whenever you open a new tab a random google trends tab will open on it's own.

worked for me and my gf when other extensions did not.
