Shade Dark Mode is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and superior visual performance compared to other dark mode extensions, supporting many websites including LinkedIn and PDFs. Users appreciate its gentle approach to color adjustments and eye comfort. However, it suffers from inconsistent application, sometimes failing to apply dark mode immediately, requiring manual refreshes or toggling. Users report issues with black text on black backgrounds and occasional visual glitches like black boxes and video blackouts. Despite these issues, it remains the preferred choice for many due to its superior aesthetics and compatibility.

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.
