The extension has a modest user base of 3,000 users with a solid 4.4-star rating from 19 reviews, indicating generally positive user experiences. The developer domain (ameyalambat.com) suggests an individual developer rather than an established company. The extension's purpose appears legitimate - providing dark mode functionality for Google Docs, which is a common user request.
The primary concern is the broad host permissions for all of docs.google.com, which grants access to potentially sensitive documents across the entire Google Docs platform. While the activeTab and storage permissions are reasonable for a theming extension, the combination allows the extension to access and potentially store data from any Google Doc you visit. The relatively small user base and individual developer status means less community vetting compared to extensions from established companies.
Given the medium risk level, consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile if you frequently work with highly sensitive documents in Google Docs. Before installing, verify that the developer's website (ameyalambat.com) appears legitimate and professional. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation - it should only modify visual appearance, not document content. Consider whether the dark mode functionality is worth the broad access to your Google Docs, especially if you handle confidential information. Alternative dark mode solutions through browser settings or other extensions with more limited permissions might be safer options.
