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
• Display notifications
• Change your settings that control websites' access to features such as cookies, JavaScript, plugins, geolocation, microphone, camera etc.

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.

• https://www.facebook.com/* only www.facebook.com
• https://*/* every site
• http://*/* every site

We keep the first 50 patterns of a list; the manifest may declare more.

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.
