Context-Aware Verdict

LOW

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension appears to be a simple theme from ChromeThemer.com, a known website that provides Chrome themes. With 279 users and a solid 4.0-star rating from 56 reviews, it shows reasonable user acceptance. The straightforward name "Autumn Woods" suggests it's likely a decorative theme rather than a functional extension with complex capabilities.

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 fact that the extension appears to have no permissions listed, suggesting it's a basic theme with minimal system access. The lack of detailed technical information (no permissions, host permissions, or scripts listed) actually works in favor of this extension, indicating it likely has very limited functionality beyond visual customization.

Recommendations:

This extension poses minimal risk for typical users. Since it appears to be a simple theme with no significant permissions or functionality, it can be safely installed in your main Chrome profile. However, keep in mind that Manifest V2 extensions may eventually stop working as Google phases out support. Consider looking for similar themes that have been updated to Manifest V3 for better long-term compatibility and security.
