I’m going to write a simple chrome extension using jQuery and jQuery UI. Before I start, however, I want to know: what might happen if a web page that my extension is going to interact with also uses this libraries? Can there be any conflicts (e.g. CSS for my jQuery-UI theme messing up the page’s jQuery-UI theme)?

Yes there can be conflicts, however you can prevent them. When you are setting up a theme, you need to download it with a namespace(you can find that setting in the right column of the jquery ui custom download page), and then use that namespace in your extension. The only possible issue at that point is if the site that is being viewed uses the same namespace that you choose, so make sure you choose something that won’t have that problem.
