This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Read and change your data on flavortown.hackclub.com
• Block content on any page

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

Specific sites only: 1 match pattern.

• https://flavortown.hackclub.com/* only flavortown.hackclub.com

Worth knowing

• Block or redirect requests by rules it declares in advance declarativeNetRequest
• Block or redirect requests on the sites it can access declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 2 site patterns.

• https://flavortown.hackclub.com/kitchen only flavortown.hackclub.com
• https://flavortown.hackclub.com/my/achievements only flavortown.hackclub.com

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

Has it asked for more over time?

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.
