Pros
- Effectively applies dark mode on many websites, including challenging ones like LinkedIn, Google Calendar, and PDF readers.
- Simple and easy to use with a straightforward interface.
- Does not invert colors indiscriminately, preserving site appearance better than other dark mode extensions.
- Provides better legibility and aesthetic dark themes compared to other extensions.
- Works well for eye comfort and users with sensitive eyes or vision impairments.
Cons
- Inconsistent application of dark mode on some pages; sometimes requires refreshing or toggling the extension off and on to apply dark mode properly.
- Black text on black backgrounds and large black boxes appear on some websites, reducing readability.
- Occasional failures to apply dark mode on page load cause sudden bright flashes, which can be annoying or strain eyes.
- Certain functions like blacklists need manual interaction and are not fully automatic.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Shade Dark Mode requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Shade Dark Mode has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
