Among other things, this is why when people say "HN doesn't need a dark mode, just use an extension", that isn't a valid solution. For years now I've refused to install any extensions that aren't too-big-to-compromise (which in practice - for me - means AdBlock Plus and maybe React Dev Tools), and that should be everyone's policy. Any extension whose compromise wouldn't damage the reputation of a billion-dollar organization is simply too juicy of an attack vector.
