Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.

• *://*/* every site
• https://*/* every site
• file://*/* files on your computer opened in the browser

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.

What the store shows

The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.

The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.
