Is Turn Off the Lights safe?
Turn Off the Lights accepts color theme commands from any website via an unvalidated custom URL scheme handler.
The extension's content script runs on all pages and listens for clicks on links using the turnoffthelights:// scheme. When a nighttheme action is triggered, it decodes a JSON payload from the link and writes color values directly to chrome.storage.sync — without checking which site caused the click. Any page can craft such a link to overwrite the user's saved night-mode color settings.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
9 other listings published from this account, 626k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 4.6.6. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to. The current listed version is 4.7.1, which we have not unpacked yet.
