Works like a charm! Bad interaction design for Google Docs to default to editing/suggsting mode, very inconvenient for teamwork usage.

I have been checked the source code 0.0.0.1_0 to ensure this extension is safe. Basically it's just find `#docs-toolbar-mode-switcher .docs-toolbar-mode-switcher-viewing-menu-item` element, and click it.

Been waiting for this feature for a LONG time, thank you so much whoever authored this extension. Should be built into Google Docs...but at least it's doable now

One of the best invention in Google Chrome...why TF there's not an option of always open in Viewing mode in setting..
