The View-Dark Rogue Extension Pushes Unwanted Ads

ads adware

View-Dark is the name of a rogue browser extension that acts like adware.

View-Dark is an extension that claims it can change the look of web pages, switching the color scheme to a dark-tinted "night mode" of sorts. In addition to this, the extension can also inject advertising into pages you browse or display ads as pop-ups.

Due to the undesirable behavior of View-Dark, the extension is not offered or listed on the official Chrome Web Store. You can still encounter it on untrustworthy websites that might trigger its automatic install or in software bundles.

Adware extensions of this type may display advertising sourced through rogue ad networks. This is bad news, as rogue ads may link to questionable online content, misleading websites, scam or phishing pages and other undesirable locations.

Removing rogue browser extensions such as View-Dark is usually simple and boils down to removing the extension through Chrome's addons and extensions menu, as this type of rogue app hardly ever has any meaningful persistence mechanisms.
