About this extension
In Gdocs, immediately switch to View Mode after entering any document:
  • avoid visual clutter (comments and suggested changes)
  • avoid accidental edits 🐱

This extension emulates these few clicks that switch to View Mode, nothing else to see here. No options or configuration. No storing or sending out any data, neither locally nor remotely.

Last tested in April 2025.

Techies: you can install from source code repository, it's small and auditable.
