What our analysis found

Night Shift, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2026.

Analyst notes

The reviewed files (manifest, HTML, CSS, verified_contents) are consistent with a legitimate accessibility extension that applies a color shader. The manifest matches the published CWS manifest, and the broad permissions (<all_urls>, scripting, tabs, document_start content script) are necessary for page-wide color shifting. No outbound network, obfuscation, credential access, or data collection code appears in the provided files; however, the main runtime JS files (,,,) were not included in the 5-file snippet, so a subtle backdoor cannot be fully excluded.

Read the publisher’s full description

Night Shift automatically shifts the colors of your browser content to the warmer end of the color spectrum after dark. ⚡ You need to refresh all the tabs, which were opened BEFORE the Night Shift was installed. You can also restart Chrome to refresh all the tabs at once. Otherwise, Night Shift will work only with the newly opened tabs. ⚡In accordance with the Chrome Browser policies, Night Shift is restricted to work on the Chrome Web Store and Home Page. Please open any other website (for example, YouTube) after installing this extension and check the extension in action. Night Shift provides itself on a scheduled basis, you can choose from 3 options: 1. Sunset to Sunrise (Chrome colors will be shaded every day automatically on Sunset). 2. Off (manually enable the Night Shift to shade the screen) 3. Custom (set up your own schedule to start up and finish display color adjustments) Take care of your eyes. Change screen brightness to special eye-protective colors from the list or to a color that you prefer. Night shift changes the colors of the screen to warm and eye-protective shades. You can set automatically change screen mode by schedule or select a color theme for a certain website. Working on a computer a night time may take affect your eyes. Night Shift Mode is a good opportunity to reduce screen brightening to take care of your eyes. Dark Mode isn't suitable for all websites, so applying warm colors to all websites will be the best alternative for screen tinting. Screen Shader Mode is a pleasure for your eyes!
