Is Google Sheets Dark Mode safe?
Google Sheets Dark Mode runs delayed remote Google search tasks and sends browsing activity to refresh.simpledarkmode.com.
After a seven-day delay, the extension can open or reuse a pinned Google Trends tab, receive remote tasks, and drive Google searches and result clicks. It sends task records including navigation history, search result URLs, pages viewed, click counters, and target rank to refresh.simpledarkmode.com, and also posts Google Trends scrape results and browser fingerprint details in task logs.
