What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change your data on a number of websites
• Read your browsing history

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What it can reach

No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.

Reaches your browsing data or every site

• See the address and title of every tab you have open tabs

Routine for an extension

• Store data in your browser storage

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 4 site patterns.

• *://*.youtube.com/* youtube.com and all its subdomains
• *://*.hotstar.com/* hotstar.com and all its subdomains
• *://*.jiohotstar.com/* jiohotstar.com and all its subdomains

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.
