What our analysis found

Shade Dark Mode, used by 40,000 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 February 2025.

Analyst notes

The extension is a dark mode tool derived from the open-source Dark Reader project. It uses broad host permissions and the scripting API to inject stylesheets and process page images, which are necessary for its functionality. All network activity is internal (messages between extension contexts) or fetches page resources (images, stylesheets) for analysis; no data is sent to external servers. The code is minified but not maliciously obfuscated. The ML model and the risk-engine report likely flagged it due to its broad permissions, but these are justified for a dark mode extension.
