The extension has a very small user base of only 571 users, which limits community validation. With just 5 ratings resulting in a 3.6-star average, there's insufficient feedback to gauge reliability. The lack of developer information raises transparency concerns, as users cannot verify the creator's identity or reputation. The extension appears to be a simple theme application for Star Wars content, which aligns with its basic functionality.
The primary concern is the use of Manifest Version 2, which has weaker security protections compared to the newer V3 standard. This older framework provides fewer safeguards against malicious behavior and data access. The minimal user adoption suggests limited community vetting, and the absence of developer contact information makes it difficult to report issues or verify legitimacy. The low rating average, while based on few reviews, indicates potential user dissatisfaction.
Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate any potential risks from your main browsing environment. Look for alternative Star Wars theme extensions that use Manifest V3 and have larger user bases with better ratings. If you choose to install this extension, monitor your browser's performance and be alert to any unusual behavior. Given the cosmetic nature of themes, the actual security risk is relatively contained, but the outdated manifest version warrants caution.
