Extension Details

Developer: https://www.chromethemer.com/

Rating: 4.5 ★ (141 ratings)

Users: 7,000

Context-Aware Verdict

LOW

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension appears to be a theme from ChromeThemer.com, a legitimate website that specializes in Chrome themes. With 7,000 users and a solid 4.5-star rating from 141 reviews, it shows reasonable user adoption and satisfaction. The lack of any permissions indicates this is likely a simple cosmetic theme rather than a functional extension.

Concerns:

- Uses the older Manifest V2, which has weaker security protections compared to Manifest V3

- Missing last updated date makes it difficult to assess if the extension is actively maintained

- No specific permissions listed, which while positive for privacy, makes it harder to verify the extension's exact functionality

- Theme extensions can sometimes be used to mask more malicious functionality, though no evidence suggests this here

Recommendations:

This appears to be a low-risk cosmetic theme with minimal security implications. The primary concern is the outdated manifest version, but given the lack of permissions and the nature of themes, this poses limited actual risk. You can safely use this extension in your main browser profile. However, consider looking for similar themes that have been updated to Manifest V3 for better long-term security. Monitor for any updates from the developer, and if the extension remains unmaintained for extended periods, consider switching to actively supported alternatives.

Findings

MEDIUM

Older Manifest Version

This extension uses Manifest Version 2, which has fewer security restrictions than Manifest V3. Consider using extensions that have upgraded to V3.
