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.
