What Chrome asks you to allow

From the permissions it declares, Chrome shows no permission warning when you add it.

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.

Worth knowing

• Run its own code on the pages it can access scripting

Routine for an extension

• Open a panel beside the page sidePanel
• Store data in your browser storage

What it may ask for later

Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse.

• *://*.github.com/* github.com and all its subdomains
