What our analysis found

Dark Theme for Google™, used by 40,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in March 2023.

The extension is a legitimate dark theme tool that only modifies CSS on Google pages. No data exfiltration, tracking, or malicious code was found. The content script exclusively adjusts colors and loads external stylesheets via a safe background proxy. The options page shows promotional links to the developer's other extensions, but no user data is collected. The manifest mismatch between the bundled MV2 and the published MV3 listing is a hygiene issue but does not affect security. All ML model hits are explained by standard DOM manipulation and local storage usage.

About this extension

A highly customizable dark theme for Google products (search, images, translate, and contacts)

Read the publisher’s full description

"Dark Theme for Google" extension brings a customizable dark theme to some of the Google services such as Google Search and Google Images. The extension supports all localized Google domains. Using this extension you can customize many colors including background and link colors on the options page of the extension if you don't like the default configuration. Features: 1. You can define a period for the extension to automatically activate the dark theme 2. You can append your custom CSS rules to the default dark theme from the options page 3. You can ask the extension to automatically follow the system color scheme (turn dark theme on when the preferred color scheme is dark and turn it off when not) (this feature uses the JavaScript's matchMedia method to install a listener for prefers-color-scheme). 4. Supports "Calendar" and "Messages" services (as of version 0.5.0) -- This extension is an independent open-source project and is not related to Google Inc in anyways.
