What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Read and change your data on all hubspot.com sites

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.

• *://*.hubspot.com/* hubspot.com and all its subdomains

Reaches your browsing data or every site

• Read and change cookies on the sites it can access cookies

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 1 site pattern.

• *://*.hubspot.com/* hubspot.com and all its subdomains

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.
