What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Read and change all your data on all websites
• Read your browsing history
• Read the icons of the websites you visit
• Detect your physical location
• Modify data you copy and paste

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.
