Routine for an extension

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.

Who publishes it

Vishal. This listing has been in the store since 2025-03-20 and was last updated on 2026-02-21.

Similar extensions that ask for less

Listings close to this one in what they say they do, which declare less reach. Less reach is not a verdict on either: compare what each needs for the job.

  2. Attention Audit No site access · 2 permissions 9 users
  3. Personalized Profiler No site access · 4 permissions 11 users
