What our analysis found

HN Dark Mode showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2022.

Analyst notes

The extension is a straightforward dark mode toggle for [domain withheld]. All JS files (,,) contain only UI state management: a single 'darkModeChoice' preference to chrome.storage.local and CSS classes on the HN page body. There is no network egress, no data collection, no remote code loading, and no obfuscation. The bundled manifest perfectly matches the published manifest summary (MV3, storage permission only, content script scoped to [domain withheld]). The ML score of 0.23 is a false positive driven by a tiny, simple extension that superficially resembles low-feature malware in feature space; the third-party risk score (likelihood) and Google's 'featured' badge corroborate benignity.
