I think that this may be some duplicate extension trying to generate and take advantage of user confusion between the real Dark Reader extension for Edge and this one.
The firefox list is pretty much entirely overly specific youtube tweaks (that you should be using uBlock or a more fully featured Youtube extension for), “games in sidebar”, and custom cursors. Bonzi buddy and toolbars, anyone?
Seriously, an NES emulator? As a browser addon? That needs permission to access “your data on all websites”?
This is fucked up. Dark Reader?
Thankfully it seems that this is only for Dark Reader on Edge (not Firefox or Chrome).
Still worrying to see them integrate this fraudulent service.

Real Dark Reader:

What appears to be the copycat with the malware:

I suppose that that potential to impersonate addons is also a security concern, though.
Thanks for the clarification!
The web is unusable without Dark Reader and uBlock Origin.
Agreed.
I agree with your agreeance
