Context-Aware Verdict

LOW

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension comes from chromethemer.com, which appears to be a legitimate theme provider for Chrome browsers. With 2,000 users and a solid 4.5-star rating from 26 reviews, it shows reasonable user satisfaction. The extension appears to be a simple cosmetic theme with no complex functionality, which inherently reduces risk potential.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the use of Manifest Version 2, which lacks the enhanced security protections of Manifest V3. However, this is mitigated by the extension's apparent simplicity as a theme. The lack of any requested permissions, host permissions, content scripts, or background scripts suggests this is purely a visual modification with minimal system access. The absence of update information makes it difficult to assess ongoing maintenance and security patching.

Recommendations:

This extension poses minimal risk for general use due to its limited scope and lack of invasive permissions. Users can safely install it in their main Chrome profile. However, consider looking for similar themes that have upgraded to Manifest V3 for better long-term security. Monitor for updates from the developer, and if the extension remains unmaintained for extended periods, consider switching to actively maintained alternatives. The extension's simplicity makes it suitable for users seeking basic cosmetic customization without security concerns.
