Dark Pattern Guardian:Detection Of Dark Patterns in Online Games

Abstract

Dark patterns -manipulative design techniques used in gaming apps—often undermine user autonomy and negatively impact the overall user experience. Dark Pattern Guardian is a Chrome extension designed to detect and mitigate these deceptive practices by analyzing user interfaces and interactions directly within the browser. The system employs a rule-based approach and predefined pattern recognition techniques to identify and categorize common dark patterns such as forced continuity, misdirection, and hidden costs.To enhance its functionality, Dark Pattern Guardian includes several key features. It extends detection capabilities to visual dark patterns, recognizing deceptive UI elements like misleading button placements and hidden options. The extension also incorporates a community feedback system, allowing users to report new dark patterns they encounter, which helps refine detection rules and contribute to a growing database of deceptive practices. Educational resources are integrated within the extension, providing users with the knowledge to recognize and avoid dark patterns,while a parental control feature offers additionalsafeguards for younger users. Personalized user alerts deliver tailored notifications and actionable recommendations based on individual browsing habits, ensuring users are better equipped to navigate online spaces safely. Additionally, the extension introduces a gamification element, rewarding users for identifying and reporting darkpatterns, thus fostering a community-drivenapproach to ethical web browsing.
