- Rated 5 out of 5by machooth, a day agoIf you are having issues with the 2025.01.15 update, open the DocsAfterDark options (in the Firefox toolbar) and try switching some of the settings back and forth. For me, changing the document background to Default and back to Shade fixed the problem I was experiencing, namely the text had become too dark to read comfortably.

- Rated 3 out of 5by AmethysteShroud, 3 days agoThis add on was good for a while, but this latest update must've messed something up because the dark mode no longer covers the full page. The top border of the text page and anywhere that hasn't been filled in by text are the default white of Docs. Please look into this and try to fix it ASAP, as this is really distracting and defeats the purpose of relieving eyestrain.

posted 3 days agoHello, thank you for your feedback. I apologize that this update caused these distracting issues. I am working on getting this fixed in the next update ASAP. The live version of DocsAfterDark has been rolled back to v0.6.3 which does not have this issue. - Rated 1 out of 5by Se, 3 days agoyeah it got worse. Currently only applies color to lines with text and not the header or the part of the page without text. Disappointing, this extension has been really reliable for me until now.

I'm not sure what went on, but for some reason the page stays a white even when everything else, including the text, is in dark mode format. I've found that switching to the page-less format gets rid of this issue, but judging by the other reviews it doesn't seem like a lot of people know about this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kleidon, 3 days agoI don't know what updates were made here but it completely ruined the extension for me. Whatever setting I choose now I can't get the entire page to be dark. The entire page is now just blindingly white except for lines that have text on them, which defeats the entire point.

Had to disable, hopefully it can get fixed.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Echo, 4 days agoThe massive sigh of relief I let out after finally seeing docs in dark mode after over a year of writing my book, holy crap. I've never been more relieved in my life!
Just install this extension, you'll thank yourself. - Rated 5 out of 5by LokiTheQuick, 4 days agoDoes exactly what it says, and exactly what we need. Thanks so much for the Document Tabs update!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18718111, a month agoI dunno about you guys, but I consider the ability to see the color of text I have written in a specific color to be a pretty significant ability, one I certainly am unwilling to give away for an addon that can't affect some major portions of the Google Docs interface.
- Rated 4 out of 5by hendeak123, 2 months agoFantastic add-on, I love that it gives the option to set a custom background color without having to actually change it or the default for the docs. I just wish it would update to apply the dark mode to the new Document Tabs feature since it is now permanent and clashes with the dark mode aesthetic. Aside from that though, I can never use Docs without it again! Never had any issues with it functionally.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alerius_Grey, 3 months agoIt's exactly what it says on the tin and does everything expected of such an add-on; I can't recommend it as a five star experience to anyone else, even if it is for myself, but at the very least I'm confident in saying it's a four star program with some customization recommended.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bread_Dev, 3 months agoI've been using this all throughout college and my professional work. It's the perfect tool for me because I need Docs but didn't want to be on Chrome anymore. Highly recommend it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by JOEY, 3 months agoLove using this extension. Would be awesome if the tabs/outline feature was updated to work with this extension.
